Day #13: Your favorite romantic scene

Shakespeare has so many great romantic scenes, which is why they have those silly books about "Shakespeare's Language of Love" with all of the purplest of them. I kind of hate those. BUT at any rate I'm not sure I have a single favorite -- there's the lark/nightingale dialogue in Romeo and Juliet, and Beatrice

Isn't it? I love it so much.

AND THE REALLY BORING AUTOLYCUS, WHICH IS POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST SIN OF ALL. BUT. YES.

OMG HENRY VI SHOULD NOT KNOW ABOUT DILDOS

YES. THAT BIT OF JULIET'S. Every time I read that line, I get chills. Seriously.

OLIVIA

"What is your parentage?"
"Above my fortunes, yet my state is well:
I am a gentleman." I'll be sworn thou art;
Thy tongue, thy face, thy limbs, actions and spirit,
Do give thee five-fold blazon: not too fast: soft, soft!
Unless the master were the man. How now!
Even so quickly may one catch the plague?
Methinks I feel this youth's perfections
With an invisible and subtle stealth
To creep in at mine eyes. Well, let it be.

YAY FLORIZEL. That passage is why I really quite like him, but telling people I like Florizel usually just gets me odd looks. It's so gorgeous, though.
