He's all my exercise, my mirth, my matter.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger At whose approach ghosts wandring here and there Troop home to church-yards.... For fear lest day should look their shames upon, They willfully exile themselves from light, And must for aye consort with black brow'd night.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is thyself, mine own self's better part Mine eye's clear eye, my dear heart's dearer heart My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope's aim, My sole earth's heaven, and my heaven's claim.
William Shakespeare
Image
A plague of sighing and grief! It blows a man up like a bladder.
William Shakespeare

More matter with less art.
William Shakespeare
Image
Every subject's duty is the Kings, but every subject's soul is his own.
William Shakespeare
Image
It is the disease of not listening...... that I am troubled with.
William Shakespeare
Image
Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee Calls back the lovely April of her prime...

See where she comes apparelled like the spring.

The strawberry grows underneath the nettle And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best Neighbour'd by fruit of baser quality.
