Guest Farnsbarns Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I've been married to my first wife for 7 years. Haven't met my 2nd yet so we're still together! Congrats Danville, oh, and well done for 36 years too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks again to all. Once again, I'm impressed by just how many long-term relationships are represented here. We went to a little Japanese Restaurant for dinner, then took in a movie, (we haven't been to a movie in about 5 years). I bought her luggage, (for our trip to Costa Rica soon), and she bought me an "eye-pad mini"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Here's one I've used. Credit the Immoral Bard, though, and not me... And usually I've ended the quote after "her infinite variety." Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety; other women cloy The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies; <grin> m Milo, as always, appreciate your unique perspective....Although I'm a reader of the Bard, I've not read Anthony And Cleopatra.... maybe I need to get that done soon.

milod Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Rob... Or this? A bard of some later times... m And ne'er did Grecian chisel trace A Nymph, a Naiad, or a Grace, Of finer form or lovelier face! What though the sun, with ardent frown, Had slightly tinged her cheek with brown,— The sportive toil, which, short and light Had dyed her glowing hue so bright, Served too in hastier swell to show Short glimpses of a breast of snow: What though no rule of courtly grace To measured mood had trained her pace,— A foot more light, a step more true, Ne'er from the heath-flower dashed the dew; E'en the slight harebell raised its head, Elastic from her airy tread: What though upon her speech there hung The accents of the mountain tongue,—- Those silver sounds, so soft, so dear, The listener held his breath to hear! m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoyed this from Othello where Iago rats out Desdemona to her father: "I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs."

milod Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yup to that... One of my favorite quotes is from a lesser-known one of Shakespeare that's a bit on the rank side in ways. Three times in this truly odd play the question is asked, "What art thou." I think in ways that's the whole angle of why the play itself is not all that popular, nor was it except in a period after WWI. Anyway, THERSITES The cuckold and the cuckold-maker are at it. Now, bull! now, dog! 'Loo, Paris, 'loo! now my double- henned sparrow! 'loo, Paris, 'loo! The bull has the game: ware horns, ho! Exeunt PARIS and MENELAUS Enter MARGARELON MARGARELON Turn, slave, and fight. THERSITES What art thou? MARGARELON A bastard son of Priam's. THERSITES I am a bastard too; I love bastards: I am a bastard begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard in valour, in every thing illegitimate. One bear will not bite another, and wherefore should one bastard? Take heed, the quarrel's most ominous to us: if the son of a whore fight for a whore, he tempts judgment: farewell, bastard.
