BiographyType: Playwright, Poet, Actor Born: Baptised 26 April 1564 (birth date unknown) Died: 23 April 1616 William Shakespeare, often called the English national poet, is widely considered the greatest dramatist of all time. William Shakespeare was baptized on April 26, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. From roughly 1594 onward he was an important member of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men company of theatrical players. Written records give little indication of the way in which Shakespeare’s professional life molded his artistry. All that can be deduced is that over the course of 20 years, Shakespeare wrote plays that capture the complete range of human emotion and conflict. |
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong
Hark! now I hear them, - Ding-dong, bell.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.

Sin, death, and hell have set their marks on him,
And all their ministers attend on him.
This feather stirs; she lives! if it be so, it is a chance which does redeem all sorrows that ever I have felt.
Cordelia! stay a little. Ha! What is't thou say'st? Her voice was ever soft.
But thoughts the slave of life, and life, Time’s fool,
And Time, that takes survey of all the world,
Must have a stop.
O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, / That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!
one pain is cured by another. catch some new infection in your eye and the poison of the old one would die.
O my love, my wife!
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
La vida es mi tortura y la muerte será mi descanso.
