Codex of the Original King
I can smile at the old days; I was beautiful then. I remember the time I knew what happiness was; Let the memory live again...
Great. [xD] Ghost-chan got me desperately into Shakespeare, again. Well... Now, I suppose I'll start periodically 'journalling' quotes/sonnets/stuff of Shakespeare that I feel applies to my present... 'situation':

XXII
My glass shall not persuade me I am old,
So long as youth and thou are of one date;
But when in thee time's furrows I behold,
Then look I death my days should expiate.
For all that beauty that doth cover thee
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart,
Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me;
How can I then be elder than thou art?
O therefore, love, be of thyself so wary,
As I not for myself but for thee will;
Bearing thy heart, which I will keep so chary
As tender nurse her babe from faring ill.
Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain;
Thou gav'st me thine, not to give back again.

With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out
And what love can do, that dares love attempt;
Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me.


But trust me, gentleman, I’ll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But that thou over-heard’st, ere I was ‘ware,
My true love’s passion: therefore pardon me;
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered.


And yet I wish but for the thing I have:
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.


And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay,
And follow thee, my lord, throughout the world.
