Mojo, Will, & Me

 

 

Not that I think you did not love your father;

But that I know love is begun by time;

And that I see, in passages of proof,

Time qualifies the spark and fire of it.

 

-Claudius

Hamlet                                   Act IV, Scene vii, Line 110

 

Today, Claudius and Laertes are plotting about what to do with Hamlet. Claudius is getting Laertes wound up about the fact that Hamlet killed his father. He asks Laertes if he really loved his father and Laertes answers,

Why ask you this?

At which point Claudius goes into his answer gives us Today's Totally Random Lines.
Then he gets in a long thing about the fact that they should act whilst they’re still hot about it.

There lives within the very flame of love
A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it;
And nothing is at a like goodness still;
For goodness, growing to a pleurisy,
Dies in his own too-much: that we would do,
We should do when we would; for this ‘would’ changes,
And hath abatements and delays as many
As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents;
And then this ‘should’ is like a spendthrift sigh,
That hurts by easing.

Claudius is saying a lot of the same stuff that Hamlet was saying about how the desire to act wanes when over time. I really like the that we would do, we should do when we would. Say that ten times fast. 

I gave you a lot of verbiage there, and a lot to digest. So here's a nice, peaceful and simple pic that you can enjoy without any heavy thinking; 

in fact, no need to think at all.
