I am seriously considering doing a piece of calligraphy of this quote, and sticking it on my door or wall:

Wast he hope drunk
Wherein you dress'd yourself? hath it slept since?
And wakes it now, to look so green and pale
At what it did so freely?

***

We fail!
But screw your courage to the sticking-place
And we'll not fail.

--I, vii, Macbeth

Ideally I'd like to do this not as a flat, one-font one-size thing, but with words emphasized. (A fancy example would be something like this.) Does anyone know of a good Shakespearean actor you liked who read this? I'd love to hear takes on it.

Although of course it is Lady MacBeth who says those lines. Just as well I like Judi Dench as well >_>

Oh - I've heard her singing (it was Sondheim's Send in the Clowns), but I never knew she was also an actor! I should look her up.

And omg, you have the perfect icons for all this.
