Passion: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Passions, Conflicting

Thou'dst shun a beart But if thy flight lay towards the raging sen, Thou'dst meet a bear i' the mouth. When the mind's free, The body's delicate: the tempest in my mind Doth from my senses take all feeling else, Save what beats there.— K. L. iii. 4

Passions, Guilty
