lmao, you proper freaked me out that day… seriously!
“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”The Merchant of Venice. Act. v. Scene 1.
If this world is wearing thin
And you’re thinking of escape
I’ll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don’t think I’ll understandStay with me
Stay with meIn the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I’ll make you beg for moreStay with me
Stay with meYou’d better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You’d better hope and pray
That you’ll wake one day
In your own world
Coz when you sleep at night
They don’t hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own worldStay with me
Stay with me
Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay with meShakespeares Sister :)
XXVII
Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head
To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:
For then my thoughts–from far where I abide–
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:
Save that my soul’s imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous, and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee, and for myself, no quiet find.@sharongooner wrote:

thing is sharon u need to read all the threads cos just somewhere you might find something you like , i have listened to a lot of new music, read a lot of new poems and discovered authors on here some i had never heard of , some I had never read, its only as i have gotten older i am letting in more of the ‘arts’ see thing is sharon with poetry for instance i like it cos im an incurable romantic , the song i love the most sums me up , the lovers, the dreamers and me…..
As for shakespeare, its can be really heavy going but I think a lot of his plays were equal to modern day soaps on tv, for goodness sake now many different versions of romeo and juliet have we seen on tv? Brookside, damon n debbie (some of you wont remember that lol) west side story? theres another version…. there are many more. I think i quoted the merry wives of windsor on the othello thread , dallas eat yer heart out lol …….
with the sonnets and the poems , i find some of them realy sad, and some of them really romantic, i can imagine someone wooing me with a sonnet for instance lol see told ya, the lovers the dreamers and me …… we have a great language sharon
never be afraid to take a look or comment on some of these threads sharon ur input , your take on things is just as important, I’m not some intellectual, i dont know all of shakespeares works and i doubt i ever will but a thread on shakespeare before this one prompted me to browse around to remind myself of some of his work and take another look at his stuff. I find that some of his work loses my interest before the first paragraph is over , but some of it i read on, theres no law saying you have to like it, i there is a sort of ‘taboo’ bout shakespeare , to me shakespeare can be passionate, brave, romantic , sad, funny and yet some of it i sends me to sleep lol xx
There’s some great point there…. and lest we forget that Mr Shakespeare invented many of the common words we use today (in that they cannot be found anywhere else in written word before his usage of them). These words include:
Puking – As You Like It, Act II, Scene vii
Hobnob – Twelfth Night, Act III, Scene IV
Eyeball – A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act III, Scene II
Obscene – Love’s Labours Lost, Act I, Scene I
Rant – Hamlet, Act V, Scene I
There are hundreds of them in total! He was a genius and in his day his plays were like modern day celebrity appearances or band gigs. I think a lot of people get turned off by some of the heavier going work – but even the tragedies such as “King Lear” have moments of fantastic humour and hilarity in them!
