I love this play

[maderr]

I've read it like eight bajillion times.

Philosophy is odious and obscure,
Both law and physic are for petty wits,
Divnity is basest of the three--
Unpleasant, harsh, contemptible and vile.
'Tis magic, magic, that hath ravished me!

and

I have a castle joining near these woods,
And thither we'll repair and live obscure
Till time shall alter this our brutish shapes.
Sith black disgarace hath thus eclipsed our fame,
We'll rather die with grief than live with shame.

are two of my fav little bits, though they're not the most impressive. Do you know it?

If I'd ever read it, I might have cause to know it. Sadly... no. My sincerest apologies.

Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe (you might already have read jagen's post, if so my apologies). ^_^ I don't think you have read it, so you're forgiven this time minion.

Yeah, I had. But it's cool. I wasn't exactly cohesive. I shall have to try reading it some time, then.

What frigging play is this?

It sounds like Midsummer Night's Dream... just because of the magic and the woods. But I could be hideously wrong since I've never read it... Hamlet is my favourite play. :)

Nevermind

Nevermind, I am a douche and the daughter of an English teacher and I haven't got a CLUE. I rock.

Ask me about a qasida and I'll be fine.

That sounds like Goethe's Faust. Oo
