carebearcaro 's review for:

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

4.0

emotional

---

Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, 
Having some business, do entreat her eyes 
To twinkle in their spheres till they return. 
What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, 
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven 
Would through the airy region stream so bright 
That birds would sing and think it were not night.

Beautifully written passages, I know now why everyone quotes it so much
But it makes it all sadder to know how young these two children are. 13 years old. Puts it all in such a different context again
