Songs For Every Book: Ophelia From Hamlet

Aubrey Leaman


 
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.”

      3. 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 🙂

  2. Okay so I just finished reading 1984 and i have to say, i was left in awestruck. It has to be one of the most amazing books I’ve ever laid my eyes on. I have to sincerely thank you for the great recommendation 🙂
