William Shakespeare

I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.

He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.

How use doth breed a habit in a man!

The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.

The more thou dam'st it up, the more it burns.
The current that with gentle murmur glides,

The more thou dam'st it up, the more it burns.
The current that with gentle murmur glides,
Thou know'st, being stopped, impatiently doth rage;
But when his fair course is not hindered,
He makes sweet music with th' enameled stones,
Giving a gentle kiss to every sedge,
He overtaketh in his pilgrimage.
And so by many winding nooks he strays
With willing sport to the wild ocean.
Then let me go and hinder not my course.
I'll be as patient as a gentle stream
And make a pastime of each weary step,
Till the last step have brought me to my love;
And there I'll rest, as after much turmoil
A blessed soul doth in Elysium.
