"My bounty is as boundless
as the sea,
My love as deep;
the more I give to thee,
The more I have,
for both are infinite."

Act 2, Scene2

For sweetest things
turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell
far worse than weeds.

In this, though I cannot
be said to be a flattering
honest man,
it must not be denied
but I am a plain- dealing villain.

Brilliantly translated passage from our latest title - Drndić quotes Kiš on why he (and she) had to write in their native tongues, despite knowing French and English brilliantly…

[Ljiljana Tikvicki @dindiki]

Now with the drops of this
most balmy time
My love looks fresh,
and Death to me subscribes,
Since, spite of him,
I'll live in this poor rhyme,
while he insults o'er dull
and speechless tribes;

Master, I marvel how

Pericles

[Ljiljana Tikvicki @dindiki]

Like as the waves make
towards the pebbled
shore, so do our mminutes
hasten to their end.

If it be now, 'tis not to come:
if it be not to come, it will be

Speak what we feel,
not what we ought
to say.

King Lear
#ShakespeareSunday #love

[Ljiljana Tikvicki @dindiki]

Let me not to the marriage
of true minds
Admit impediments;
Love is not love which
alters when it alteration
finds, or bends with the
remover to remove.
