And the Bard had plenty to say about the subject of love - the word appears more than 2,000 times in his collected works! Packed full of timeless reflections on the subject - from the star-crossed devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the witty rhetoric in Much Ado About Nothing - and complemented by fascinating facts about Shakespeare and his works - this Little Book contains some of the most romantic and profound lines ever written in the English language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, \u003cbr\u003eDid my heart fly at your service.\"\u003cbr\u003e Ferdinand - The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Did my heart love till now?\u003cbr\u003eForswear it, sight!\u003cbr\u003eFor I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.\"\u003cbr\u003e Romeo - Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Doubt that the stars are fire, \u003cbr\u003eDoubt that the sun doth move his aides, \u003cbr\u003eDoubt truth to be a liar, \u003cbr\u003eBut never doubt I love.\"\u003cbr\u003e Hamlet - Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo-one has influenced the modern rom-com genre as much as Shakespeare. Perhaps the Bard's most influential romantic comedy is Much Ado About Nothing, the timeless tale of sworn enemies who become lovers. Countless pop-culture pairings owe a debt to the play, from Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice to the leads in When Harry Met Sally and Something's Gotta Give. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShakespeare's best-loved sonnet, \"Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?\", touches on the themes of unattainable love and mortality. The poem is part of Shakespeare's \"Fair Youth\" sequence of sonnets, which many historians believe are actually about a young man.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50900545306898,"sku":"9781035419784","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a49e5120-23b3-4f98-b8fb-0e192cd73fc7.jpg?v=1738386232","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-little-book-of-shakespeare-on-love-9781035419784","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
