“Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.”

"Until our century, a respectable woman kept her eyes modestly averted. Shakespeare legitimizes bold mobility of the female eye and identifies it with imagination. Rosalind’s eye is truly perceptive: it both sees and understands. Shakespeare’s great heroine unites multiplicity of gender, persona, word, eye, and thought.”

Rosalind:
A traveler! By my faith, you have great reason to be sad. I fear you have sold your own lands to see other men’s. Then to have seen much and to have nothing is to have rich eyes and poor hands.
Jaques:
Yes, I have gained my experience.
Rosalind:
And your experience makes you sad. I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad – and to travel for it too.
