Famous Quotes | Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet...

Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day.
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;
Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate tree.
- William Shakespeare Attribution: William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Juliet, in Romeo and Juliet, act 3, sc. 5, l. 1-4. To Romeo, who is anxious to get away at daybreak; “fearful” means anxious.
