Camilla

“I got up and went over and looked out the window. I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“I didn’t say free, madam. No, I didn’t say that. He’s bound to Octavia.

CLEOPATRA
For what favor?

MESSENGER
For the favor of sleeping in her bed.

CLEOPATRA
I am pale, Charmian.

MESSENGER
He’s married to Octavia, madam.

CLEOPATRA
May you die of the worst disease!”
― William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra

“Whoever is born on a day I forget to send a message to Antony will die a beggar. Bring ink and paper, Charmian. Welcome, my good Alexas. Charmian, did I ever love Caesar as much as this?

Oh, that splendid Caesar!

May you choke on any other sentiments like that! Say, “That splendid Antony.”

The courageous Caesar!

By Isis, I’ll give you bloody teeth if you ever compare Caesar with Antony, my best man among men.”
― William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra

“Oh, Charmian, Where think’st thou he is now? Stands he or sits he?
Or does he walk? Or is he on his horse?
O happy horse, to bear the weight of Antony!
Do bravely, horse, for wott’st thou whom thou mov’st?
The demi-Atlas of this earth, the arm
And burgonet of men. He’s speaking now,
Or murmuring “Where’s my serpent of old Nile?”
For so he calls me. Now I feed myself
With most delicious poison. Think on me,
That am with Phoebus’ amorous pinches black
And wrinkled deep in time. Broad-fronted Caesar,
When thou wast here above the ground, I was
A morsel for a monarch. And great Pompey
Would stand and make his eyes grow in my brow.
There would he anchor his aspect, and die
With looking on his life.”
― William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra
