Ten romantic Shakespeare lines
Hello, everyone. I feel unsure whether this message belongs in the 'quotes' forum or the 'Shakespeare' forum, so I will take my chances. Below is a romantic quote from the all-too-famous play Romeo and Juliet. Romeo speaks the following after his first sight of Juliet (lines 46-56, Act I, Scene V). I hope all of you lovesick romantics, like me, enjoy.
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
Her beauty hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
