Words to return to, with the context behind them.

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,

So quick bright things come to confusion.

and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name.

If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended,

Lord, what fools these mortals be!

And though she be but little, she is fierce.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;

The course of true love never did run smooth.
