Some heavenly music, which even now I do, Have waked their sleepers, oped, and let ’em forthīy my so potent art. Have I made shake and by the spurs pluck’d up With his own bolt the strong-based promontory Have I given fire and rifted Jove’s stout oak Set roaring war: to the dread rattling thunder The noontide sun, call’d forth the mutinous winds,Īnd ‘twixt the green sea and the azured vault Weak masters though ye be, I have bedimm’d Is to make midnight mushrooms, that rejoice Whereof the ewe not bites, and you whose pastime When he comes back you demi-puppets thatīy moonshine do the green sour ringlets make,

Lovers part, often without any words at all, their emotions revealed in their breathing, their tears, etc. When we say goodbye to someone it is often just a polite end to an encounter but, on the other hand, it is sometimes something deeper – containing emotions or feelings that go beyond that formal leave-taking.
