HAMLET: I did love you once.
OPHELIA: Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so.
HAMLET: You should not have believed me; for virtue cannot
so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of
it: I loved you not.
OPHELIA: I was the more deceived.

O, help him, you sweet heavens!
–Act III, scene i

“Can we go back to the world we had?
With a love so sweet it makes me sad
Can we go back to the world we had?
It’s the world we’ve been dreaming of.”
I haven’t read Shakespeare since high-school in drama. I love this quote though! Are you currently working through some Shakespeare.

More or less…over the past year I’ve worked on several projects in relation to Hamlet, so I’ve kind of become attached to it haha. It’s one of my favorites!

Weird! It’s http://www.mattoc503.wordpress.com I have a contact me on there! Through my journey of stumbling through authors it has been a beautiful labyrinth. My goal is to post reviews/summaries of literature so the reader can begin their own journeys and become influenced by great literature. I am only on person and love collaborating! I have not read Shakespeare in quite some time and already have a reading shelf that is struggling to support the weight. I love your writing style and the sections of literature that stand out to you π
