“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

“Now my charms are all o'erthrown,
And what strength I have's mine own, -
Which is most faint: now, 'tis true,
I must be here confined by you...
But release me from my bands
With the help of your good hands:
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails,
Which was to please: now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant;
And my ending is despair,
Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so, that it assaults
Mercy itself, and frees all faults.
As you from crimes would pardon'd be,
Let your indulgence set me free.”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

“Ora i miei incantesimi si sono tutti spenti,
la forza che possiedo è solo mia, ed è poca.
Ora sta a voi tenermi qui confinato o mandarmi a Napoli.
Poiché ho riavuto il Ducato e perdonato il traditore,
Non fatemi rimanere col vostro potere in quest'isola nuda,
ma scioglietemi da ogni legame con mani generose.
Il vostro fiato gentile colmi le mie vele
altrimenti fallisce Il mio progetto che era di dar piacere.
Ora mi mancano spiriti da comandare,
arte per incantare,
e la mia fine è la disperazione,
a meno che non sia salvato dalla preghiera
Che va tanto a fondo da vincere la pietà e liberare dal peccato.
Come voi per ogni colpa implorate il perdono,
Così la vostra indulgenza metta me in libertà.”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

The very instant that I saw you did
My heart fly to your service, there resides

“Black for hunting through the night

For death and mourning the color's white

Gold for a bride in her wedding gown

And red to call the enchantment down

White silk when our bodies burn

Blue banners when the lost return

Flame for the birth of a Nephilim

And to wash away our sins.

Gray for the knowledge best untold

Bone for those who don't grow old

Saffron lights the victory march

Green to mend our broken hearts

Silver for the demon towers

And bronze to summon wicked powers

-Shadowhunter children's rhyme”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“Treats and tricks.
Witch broomsticks.
Jack-o-lanterns
Lick their lips.

Crows and cats.
Vampire bats.
Capes and fangs
And pointed hats.

Werewolves howl.
Phantoms prowl.
Halloween’s
Upon us now.”

when someone sets its soul afire
and on that night it stirs up fear
until its flame is snuffed.
But e'en one night of eerie light is fright enough.”

if ever there was one,
would smell like an onion,
have thorns like a rose.
With charcoal black petals
and vines that entangle,
t'would grow under moonlight
in mud, I suppose.”
