secrets

so here it is, scøüpe's secret to a happy reltionship. it's something i took from the prologue to the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald. my copies are packed up already so the wording may be slightly off.

"then wear the gold hat
if that will move her
and if you can bounce,
bounce high for her too.
till she cry 'high-bouncing, gold-hatted lover,
i must have you!"

actually, fitzgerald was quoting someone from thomas d'invilliers, i think. either way the point is the same.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

-- William Shakespeare

what is that from? play or sonnet. it sounds familiar, maybe something from the friar to romeo?
