Give me some music

“ Give me some music;

music, moody food

Of us that trade in love.”


Cleopatra

William Shakespeare

The man that hath no music in himself,

Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,

Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils

The motions of his spirit are dull as night,

And his affections dark as Erebus

Let no such man be trusted.

The Merchant of Venice

William Shakespeare

Since once I sat upon a promontory,

And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back

Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath

That the rude sea grew civil at her song

And certain stars shot madly from their spheres,

To hear the sea-maid's music.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
William Shakespeare


How sour sweet music is,

When time is broke and no proportion kept!

So is it in the music of men's lives.

KING RICHARD II

William Shakespeare

I

enjoy reading

Shakespeare's writings.

I like his unique writing style and

the philosophy behind his works though

I

acknowledge that some of his writings esp those

which are full of elaborate metaphors and conceits

are a little difficult to understand but

I

enjoy deciphering them:)
