English Literature

ahh good thread :)

on love:
"Making it momentary as a sound, swift as a shadow, short as any dream, brief as the lightning in the collied night, that, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth. And ere a man hath power to say; Behold! The jaws of darkness do devour it up. So quick bright things come to confusion."

Midsummer's Night Dream

"David has been a good student whose contributions to the tutorial have been insightful, eloquent and knowledgable-though sometimes a little infrequent."

I'm right behind you buddy. No really. By like 2 points once we drop that quiz. Anyway....

The valiant never taste of death but once." - William Shakespeare

I'm not sure which play that is from, I forget, but I've had it memorized for four years. :)
