#paraphrased #romeo-and-juliet #shakespeare #humor

These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. ↗

— William Shakespeare

Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night. ↗
