More Than All the World
I care not, I, knew she and all the world:
I love her more than all the world.
–Titus Andronicus,
Act II, Scene i

Act II, Scene i

But if thy love were ever like to mine,
As sure I think did never man love so,
How many actions most ridiculous
Hast thou been drawn to by thy fantasy?
— As You Like It,
Act II, Scene iv

Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes;
Being vex’d, a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:
What is it else? A madness most discreet.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act I, Scene i

This miracle have might,
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
–Sonnet LXV (65)

I’ll be a park, and thou shalt be my deer;
Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale:
Graze on my lips; and if those hills be dry,
Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
–Venus and Adonis

I am giddy; expectation whirls me round.
The imaginary relish is so sweet
That it enchants my sense…
Troilus and Cressida,
Act III, Scene ii
