"Heaven hath my empty words
Whilst my invention, hearing not my tongue,
Anchors on Isabel: God in my mouth,
As if I did but chew his name;
And in my heart the strong and swelling evil
Of my conception. The state whereon I studied
Is like a good thing, being often read,
Grown sear'd and tedious; yea, my gravity,
Wherein - let no man hear me - I take pride,
Could I with boot change for an idle plume,
Which the air beats for vain. O place! O form!
How often dost thou with thy case, thy habit,
Wrench awe from fools, and tie the wiser souls
To thy false seeming? Blood, thou art still blood:
haha i love you!!! i'm glad we got a min to hang out. i'm so gonna get you tho! pow wow has nothing on the rath i'm gonna release on yer behinde! beware!
howdy do? had a good time the other night at the ole depot...thanks for keepin' the drinks comin'. Hope it ain't too long til i make it out to the club again...
I'm sorry love! If you need a big snuggly hug or want to talk, you know how to get in touch with me. Sorry I missed you last night/this morning. John told me the news. xoxoxoxo
