Shakespeare’s Thoughts on Love!

As we live in the British Midlands and are not far from the Bard’s birthplace Stratford-upon-Avon, we thought that we would beguile you with a sample of some of the many quotes from his works about that four letter word. Have you a favourite? These are some of ours!

(Love is) as sweet and musical

As bright Apollo’s lute, strung with his hair,

And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods

Make Heaven drowsy with the harmony.

Love’s Labor’s Lost. IV, iii, 34

***************

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,

Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend

More than cool reason ever comprehends.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream. V, i, 4

***************

Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.

Much Ado About Nothing. III, i,  106

***************

LOTS OF OF HUGS AND LOVE from both of us at A Readers Review Blog!
