Description
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow
of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?
Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let
her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must
come; make her laugh at that. Prithee, Horatio, tell
me one thing.

~~

If you haven't guessed by now, this is my interpretation of the famous "skull scene" from Hamlet. This was always my favorite part of the play because I feel it's the most genuine human emotion you see out of him. Through most of the play he's so busy being a hero, but here you see he's just like anybody else.

Yeah, I'm a Shakespeare geek.
