عبير,
Well, Abeer. Thank you for fixing the topic.
Thy quote is realy famous and nice. We are waiting for more quotes from you.
Ok now, Since Abeer has quoted from Shakespeare, I'll also quote from one of his plays. My quote is from his tragic play
Titus Andronicus. Titus has a daughter named Lavinia. Her uncle brings her but without arms or tongue. Some one has cut them. Not only that, she is also raped by the same person.
One may ask why Shakespeare is a great playwright. Shakespeare is great because he challenges himself. He invent very tragic situations like the situation here. If you were Shakespeare, what would you put in the mouth of Marcus, Titus' brother?
According to Shakespeare, the more difficult the situation is, the more simple the words are.
Now Marcus enters, carrying Lavinia in his hands, and says,
Marcus Andronicus:
Titus, prepare thy aged eyes to weep;
Or, if not so, thy noble heart to break:
I bring consuming sorrow to thine age.
[. . .]
Marcus Andronicus:
This was thy daughter.Marcus asks Titus to prepare his eyes to cry, and if he is not able to prepare them, he asks him to prepare his heart to break; as if the second is easier than the first.
Marcus is NOT crying her, but rather the words are crying.
I love Shakespeare.
