For [livejournal.com profile] larienelengasse. More Shakespeare!

From Hamlet...famous, yet one of my favorite speeches.

to be, or not to be - that is the question -
whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer,
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them?
to die - to sleep - no more, and by a sleep to say we end,
the heart ache and the thousand natural shocks,
that flesh is heir to - tis a consummation,
devoutly to be wish'd. To die - to sleep -
o sleep! perchance to dream - ay there 's the rub....



There's the rub...(what a great phrase...). Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] blue_blue for looking it up for me since I lost my Complete Works of Shakespeare. *sob*.

Love Willie.
