Namaste, There is some overlap in these quotations from Shakespeare! A Midsummer Night's Dream, IV, ii THESEUS: The lunatic, the lover and the poet Are of imagination all compact: One sees more devils than vast hell can hold, That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic, Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt. ------------------------- THE TRAGEDY OF ROMEO AND JULIET Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear- Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
