Why are our bodies soft, and weak, and smooth But that our soft conditions and our hearts Should well agree with our external parts?
William ShakespeareIn the modesty of fearful duty, I read as much as from the rattling tongue of saucy and audacious eloquence.
William ShakespeareFarewell, a long farewell to all my greatness! This is the state of man: today he puts forth The tender leaves of hope, tomorrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him: The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And - when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening - nips his root, And then he falls, as I do.
