Nightfall 21
This can be no trick: the conference was sadly borne. They have the truth of
this from Hero. They seem to pity the lady: it seems her affections have their full bent. Love me!
why, it must be requited. I hear how I am censured: they say I will bear myself proudly, if I perceive
the love come from her; they say too that she will rather die than give any sign of affection. I did
never think to marry: I must not seem proud: happy are they that hear their detractions and can put
them to mending. They say the lady is fair; 'tis a truth, I can bear them witness; and virtuous; 'tis
so, I cannot reprove it; and wise, but for loving me; by my troth, it is no addition to her wit, nor
no great argument of her folly, for I will be horribly in love with her.
I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me, because I have railed so long against marriage:
but doth not the appetite alter? a man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.
Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe a man from the career of his humour?
No, the world must be peopled. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I
were married.
You know I quite prefer Much Ado About Nothing if we are going to start quoting Shakespeare. The original play was quite amusing. I dare say it is one of his better comedies. Though he was a brilliant man he had a tendency to be melodramatic himself. I do wonder what tale he would have woven for our starcrossed vampires.
[ooc; Why yes, Lacroix here did know Shakespeare and speaks from personal experience of knowing the man. And he is very much laughing over the drama between Walter and GC. <333 Love you. Chu!]
