Shakespeare and Cemeteries

These are a few of my favorite things...

Richard III

...All of us have cause

To wail the dimming of our shining star,

          But none can help our harms by wailing them

 Othello

'Tis destiny unshunnable, like death

Hamlet 

...To die, to sleep,

To sleep perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil

Must give us pause...

Lear’s Fool

So, out went the candle, and we were left darkling

Hamlet

Had I but time - as this fell sergeant Death

Is strict in his arrest…

The rest is silence

 Adam (As You Like It) 

Yet fortune cannot recompense me better

Than to die well, and not my master’s debtor

Gertrude (Hamlet)

 Thou know’st ‘tis common - all that lives must die

Passing through nature to eternity

Gloucester (King Lear)

As flies to wanton boys are we to th’gods;

They kill us for their sport
