When I Shall Die, Ah, Take Romeo and Cut Him Out in Little Ars
The line that has become most emblematic of this play, and indeed of shakespeare perhaps most more generally. It's in juliet's soliloquy when she's waiting for romeo to come so they can spend their first night together. Paul: "She speaks with great erotic force and power about her desire for this night" And i think through this very rapturous language that she gets, sh Shakespeare enables her to express a love which is at once very sexual, it's very sensual and physical, but it's also spiritual and transcendent fused together."
