some old shakespeare books are on rice paper ๐
O true apothecary!
Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die
quite a bit of drug taking in the old days
"Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell.
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before, milk-white, now purple with loveโs wound,
And maidens call it โlove-in-idleness.โ
Fetch me that flower; the herb I showed thee once.
The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees.
Fetch me this herb, and be thou here again
