"Wolfgang" wrote
Like one, that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows, a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.
wow, man; j'u make that up?
Of course not. He plagiarized it from Coleridge's The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner.
Good God, you are an idiot. Still, I guess we have to give you
credit
for ferreting out the source of the quote a mere 21 minutes after
someone else published it.
It's customary (and honorable) to name the author when you quote
poetry,
or prose for that matter. I realize that you don't feel bound by the
standards of ethical behavior that guide your inferiors.
Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up
To such a sudden flood of mutiny.
They that have done this deed are honourable:
What private griefs they have, alas, I know not,
That made them do it: they are wise and honourable,
And will, no doubt, with reasons answer you.
I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts:
I am no orator, as Stevie is;
But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man,
That love my friend; and that they know full well
That gave me public leave to speak of him:
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth,
Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech,
To stir men's blood: I only speak right on;
I tell you that which you yourselves do know;
Show you sweet Wolfgang's wounds, poor poor dumb mouths,
And bid them speak for me: but were I Stevie,
And Stevie Antony, there were an Antony
Would ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue
In every wound of Wolfgang that should move
The stones of Rome to rise and mutiny.
Cassius
who knows that stevie is an honourable man.
i just can't believe all this **** is free.
