Venus And Adonis Quotes

“For where Love reigns, disturbing Jealousy
Doth call himself Affection's sentinel;
Gives false alarms, suggesteth mutiny,
And in a peaceful hour doth cry 'Kill, kill!”
― Venus and Adonis William Shakespeare

“Hard-favored tyrant, ugly, meager, lean,
Hateful divorce of love,' thus chides she death.
'Grim-grinning ghost, earth's worm, what dost thou mean
To stifle beauty and to steal his breath,
Who, when he lived, his breath and beauty set
Gloss on the rose, smell to the violet?”
― William Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis
