On Valentine's Day: Romeo and Juliet


The Manifestication of true love that each puriest heart wish to aquire! One of my favorite play, Romeo and Juliet, and my favorite quotes:

Romeo: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!

Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
What ’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. . . . swear by thy gracious self,Which is The god of my idolatry. —Juliet tells Romeo that if he must swear on something to prove he is a faithful lover, he should swear only upon himself.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.

I Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here's drink—I drink to thee.
