More on Melancholy
“There's little of the melancholy element in her, my lord: she is never sad but when she sleeps; and not ever sad then; for I have heard my daughter say, she hath often dreamt of unhappiness, and waked herself with laughing.”
“There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.”
“I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.”
