Description
No writer, before or since, has matched Shakespeare in terms of influence, critical acclaim or popular success. And the Bard had plenty to say about the subject of love - the word appears more than 2,000 times in his collected works! Packed full of timeless reflections on the subject - from the star-crossed devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the witty rhetoric in Much Ado About Nothing - and complemented by fascinating facts about Shakespeare and his works - this Little Book contains some of the most romantic and profound lines ever written in the English language.
Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you,
Did my heart fly at your service.
Ferdinand - The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1
Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it, sight!
For I ne''er saw true beauty till this night.
Romeo - Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5
Doubt that the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move his aides,<
