Shakespeare Meme

Seen on pellegrina's journal -

When you see this on your flist, quote some Shakespeare on your LJ.

So - Shakespeare’s Sonnet No. 52

So am I as the rich, whose blessed key
Can bring him to his sweet up-locked treasure,
The which he will not every hour survey,
For blunting the fine point of seldom pleasure.
Therefore are feasts so solemn and so rare,
Since, seldom coming, in the long year set,
Like stones of worth they thinly placed are,
Or captain jewels in the carcanet.
So is the time that keeps you as my chest,
Or as the wardrobe which the robe doth hide,
To make some special instant special blest,
By new unfolding his imprison'd pride.
Blessed are you, whose worthiness gives scope,
Being had, to triumph, being lack'd, to hope.

Which has special meaning to Tindómë and Rumil in The Winter Tale.

And here is an added bonus because the meme reminded me of it; the hauntingly beautiful sung version of Prospero's Speech;
