I never thought I would say this. I never imagined I would become so enamored with this person, so swept away in his wooing words and his immense passion. People told me I would fall in love with him, but I didn't take heed. I to
ok their encouragement as a far off dream. "This could never happen to me," I convinced myself. "I will never have the love they do!"
But I am drowning in the ocean of his expressed feelings.
I am proud.
I want to scream it from the top of my lungs and the depths of my soul!
I LOVE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE!
I've cried... in public... while reading soliloquies, at the death of characters I have become fond of, when I realize my own nature in certain persons, and even at the sheer genius of his use of language. Wow. Even though I am aware of the plots and outcome of every play before I dive into the text, the suspense and intensity he creates forces me to remind myself to breathe.
How dare anybody ever turn the man I love into a cliche. "To be or not to be"... Just a common household phrase!? Nay, Shakespeare was nothing less of phenomenal. Do you realize the profoundness of this statement within the context of the rest of Hamlet's life!? His turmoil!? The brilliance of his speech!? I implore you all to read it and find out!
Fall in love for yourselves. It will not be love wasted.
...plus, he's a hottie.
