The Air We Breathe Whatever death hides in the dark forest? The Man attentive to death-defying chances with sinister low sweeping branches, strong confused as to the hierarchical level upon which their outreached strengths belong hurries along Beautifully poisonous trees Gnarled treacherous roots designed to trip, their sole grisly aim to thwart and breach soft etched memories of forgotten things are his to cherish ~ his to keep ’The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief' (Othello Act 1 Scene 111) 'Though this be madness there is method in it' (Hamlet Act 11 Scene 11) Death twitches lobes, whispering its keenness. ’Friends, Romans, Countrymen lend me your ears" (Julius Caesar Act 111 Scene 11) Past the curious crowds gathering. His journey aligns not with old narratives of Fear through Chinese whispers spread far and near. Despite aspirations betrayed ripples in the velvet folds frayed To simply laugh at its absurdity On the narrow stage, it is set to play. Though thunderous, the applause 'All the worlds a stage and all the men and women merely players (Shakespeare's. As You Like It 1600) Yet once again, curtain call deceives both lovers and haters 'To be or not to be that is the question (Hamlet Act 111 Scene 1) The loss of self in the drumming of where his feet effortlessly fail to grip~ Memories of the forgotten, Robbed from gravity, that smiled at the slip. Space became a complimentary friend. And a solid that it couldn't live without in the end Keeping his weary eyes from drooping His ears tuned to strains of ethereal music floating. 'Oh God, oh God, how weary stale and flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world '. Hamlet (1601) Act 1 The theory seems to have replaced realism Exhausted is my patience, Indeed, You must feel the frustration. Through the melodious tones of an angelic choir, a soothing Voice drifts through Heaven's portal 'Oh child, in your wake, you've left your own trail of fire Why seek perfection from this world you desire? In mine eyes, mankind is struggling to be heard Look yonder through a vision, less blurred 'Oh, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there! How beautius mankind is! Oh, brave new world that has such people in it. (Miranda Act 5 Scene 1) Hark! A Glorious New Age Musical called Hope is about to begin. A gold phoenix rising from the ashes ~ Redemption is always within.' By Maria Williams © Can you use Shakespeare quotes? Shakespeare is public domain and is totally okay to quote.
