I have always had a great appreciation
for poetry, not the love poems that people often first think of, but anything
which is emotionally powerful, tragic or dark. I have found a few
favorite excerpts or entire pieces and I have them stuck up on the walls
of my room at uni. Here they are online as well...
IIs this a dagger
which I see before me?
[Macbeth]
Riddle of affairs
and death.
[Macbeth]
Double, double toil
and trouble
[Macbeth]

sleep!
[Macbeth]

and to-morrow.
[Macbeth]
To be, or not to be:
that is the question.
[Hamlet]
I talk of dreams.
[Romeo & Juliet]
To smooth that rough
touch with a tender kiss.
[Romeo & Juliet]
My only love sprung
from my only hate!

through yonder window breaks?

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore
art though Romeo?

Thou art a villian.

of what colour it please God.

Hey nonny, nonny.
[Much Ado About Nothing]
I did not think I
should live till I were married.

ride sparkling in her eyes.

Some cupid kills with
arrow, some with traps.
