Wild nights! Wild nights!
Were I - with thee -
Wild nights would be

Tonight - in thee!

I have of late, though wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth.
Me too. "This goodly frame the Earth" my ass.
The quality of mercy is not strained...
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears...
Oh tomb, vaulted bride-bed in eternal rock... (Antigone)
And most of the songs from every musical I've ever been in.
We had to buy our blue-books in the bookstore at GW for undergrad, but they were sealed and could only be opened at the beginning of the test. In law school, the blue books were provided.
