shakespeare in love
Such luxuries of time, I can Ill afford. However, this long weekend, I finally picked up my dad's complete illustrated shakespeare" once again. Thus completing Hamlet, Twelfth Night and The Midsummer night's dream.
My favourite thus far is Twelfth Night. It's interesting to note how "Feste" the fool/jester oft seems to be the cleverest in the room, throwing out Syllogism and more.
notable quotes from Twelfth night are
1)Orsino "If music be the food of love,play on."
2)Olivia "Love sought is good, but giv'n unsought is better "
3)Feste the clown
CLOWN Good madonna, why mourn'st thou?
OLIVIA Good Fool, for my brother's death.
CLOWN I think his soul is in hell, madonna.
OLIVIA I know his soul is in heaven, fool.
CLOWN The more fool, madonna, to mourn for your
brother's soul, being in heaven. Take away the fool,
gentlemen.
Sometimes I wished I was wendy in peter pan, or alice in wonderland. I'm a huge burton and depp fan, and I reckon the only anti-aging methodology is to have dreams, gun for them, and believe that disneyland is still the happiest place on earth.
