From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

"All's Well that Ends Well" is definitely a problem play (I mean, eeesh, there's a lot going on). But omg I really have fallen in love with it as of watching a Globe production from 2011 last night. Not least because the Countess of Rousillon is just superb. And the general women-supporting-women aspect of the whole thing. Shakespeare definitely had his proto-feminist moments, esp. in the comedies.

The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die'
But if that flow'r with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
Sonnet 94

The poor wren,
The most diminitive of birds, will fight,
Her young ones in her nest, against the owl.

Not an angel of the air,
Bird melodious or bird fair,
Be absent hence!

#MuchAdoAboutNothing last night at the #Colorado #Shakespeare Festival was, as usual, fantastic. Some of the funniest renditions of the gulling scenes (particularly for Jessica Robblee' Beatrice, which made much use of the Chekhovian fountain) I have seen.

"If this were played upon a stage now,
I could condemn it as an improbable fiction."

You take my house when you do take the prop
That doth sustain my house; you take my life
When you do take the means whereby I live.

The king is but a man, as I am; the violet smells to him as it doth to me; the element shows to him as it doth to me; all his senses have but human conditions

There is no creature loves me,
And if I die, no soul will pity me.

This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change,
For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
-William Shakespeare

The love of wicked men converts to fear;
That fear to hate, and hate turns one or both
To worthy danger and deserved death.
-William Shakespeare

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
