Quotes

A morning in May; love’s young dream.”
Bob Wire

This may be in reference to the following poem:

Bless the genial sunshine, speed the cheerful ray
Into every human heart – merry month of May.
Nature’s voice is jubilant, brooks and birds are singing;
Bells, on all the otwers round, merrily are ringing;


Flowers gay and grasses green, everywhere are teeming;
Why should sad humanity sit in dilence dreaming?
Be we then, awake to life, smiling as the flowers –
Happy as the joyous birds, in their leafy bowers.

Life, at best, is all too sad; we should cease repining –
Look upon the brighter side while the sun is shining:
Earth were not so dark a place if we were but willing
To admit some rays of light – all its niches filling.

Let us, then, with cheerfulness – faith and duty blending –
Make of all the rolling year, Summer, never ending.
George P. Emswiler,“A Morning in May”, May 1, 1864

_____________________________

OH! the days are gone, when Beauty bright
My heart’s chain wove;
When my dream of life, from morn till night,
Was love, still love.
New hope may bloom,
And days may come
Of milder, calmer beam,
But there’s nothing half so sweet in life
As love’s young dream.

No, there’s nothing half so sweet in life
As love’s young dream.
Tho’ the bard to purer fame may soar,
When wild youth’s past;
Tho’ he win the wise, who frown’d before,
To smile at last;
He’ll never meet
A joy so sweet,
In all his noon of fame,
As when first he sung to woman’s ear,
His soul-felt flame,
And, at every close, she blush’d to hear
The one loved name.

No,—that hallowed form is ne’er forgot
Which first love traced;
Still it lingering haunts the greenest spot
On memory’s waste.
Twas odour fled
As soon as shed;
Twas morning’s wingèd dream;
Twas a light that ne’er can shine again
On life’s dull stream:
Oh! ’twas light that ne’er can shine again
On life’s dull stream.

Thomas Moore, “Love’s Young Dream”

 

 

…blessed are the peacemakers.”
Paladin

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
Bible, Matthew 5:9 King James Version

 

 

Tis not so deep as a well nor wide as a church door, but ’twill serve.”
Paladin

 

ROMEO tries to break up the fight.

TYBALT stabs MERCUTIO under ROMEO’s arm.

PETRUCHIO
Away, Tybalt.

Exeunt TYBALT, PETRUCHIO, and the other CAPULETS

MERCUTIO
I am hurt.
A plague o’ both your houses! I am sped.
Is he gone and hath nothing?

BENVOLIO
What, art thou hurt?

MERCUTIO
Ay, ay, a scratch, a scratch. Marry, ’tis enough.
Where is my page?—Go, villain, fetch a surgeon.

Exit MERCUTIO’S PAGE

ROMEO
Courage, man. The hurt cannot be much.

MERCUTIO
No, tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but ’tis enough, ’twill serve.
Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man. Iam peppered, I
warrant, for this world. A plague o’ both your houses! Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse,
a cat to scratch a man to death! A braggart, a rogue, a villain that fights by the book
of arithmetic! Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm.

ROMEO
I thought all for the best.

Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 1 by William Shakespeare
