Care keeps his watch in every old man’s eye.

 

-Friar Laurence

 Romeo and Juliet            Act II, Scene ii, Line 35

 

Now that’s a really nice line. There’s some context to it that we could delve into, but I’m not going to. I’m just going to enjoy that nine word line, all by itself. I suggest that you do too.


Here's an old man's eye. Do you see care keeping watch in it?
