NUMBER:1488
AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION:O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fix’d
His canon ’gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
ATTRIBUTION:Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 2.  [text]
