Cinta - Kegilaan yang tiada habisnya.

Her beauty makes
This vault a feasting presence full of light.
(Romeo and Juliet, Act V, scene iii)
O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the
inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circle
orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
(Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene II)
Love is blind, and lovers cannot see,
The pretty follies that themselves commit
(The Merchant of Venice, Act II scene VI)
Love give me strength, and strength will help me
through. Goodbye, dear father.
(Romeo and Juliet, Act iv, Scene i)
Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude,
too boisterous; and it pricks like thorn.
(Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene iV)
A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart
( Merry Wives of Windsor | Act 3, Scene 4)
Love is a spirit of all compact of fire
(Venus Adonis, p151)
Such is my love, to thee I so belong,
That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
(Sonnet 88)
Cinta - Sesuatu yang luar biasa.
Metafora-metafora Shakespeare mengenai cinta teramat menggugah. Cinta dimaknai sebagai sesuatu yang luar biasa, keajaiban yang tak ternilai dan anugerah yang tak terbantahkan.
O thou weed,
Who art so lovely fair and smell'st so sweet
That the sense aches at thee
(Othello Act IV, Scene ii)
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear...
(Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene v)
Her eyes, her hair, her cheek, her gait, her voice,
Handlest in thy discourse, O, that her hand,
In whose comparison all whites are ink,
Writing their own reproach, to whose soft seizure
The cygnet's down is harsh…
(Troilus and Cressida, Act I,Scene i)
Speak low if you speak love
(A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act I, Scene ii)
How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending ears!
(Romeo and Juliet, Act ii Scene ii )
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs,
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes,
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.
(Romeo and Juliet Act I, Scene i)
My bounty is as deep as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite
(Romeo and Juliet Act II, Scene II)
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.
(Venus and Adonis, line 799)
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind
(A Midsummer’s Night Dream Act I, Scene i)
Love hath made thee a tame snake
( As You Like It Act IV, Scene III)
