 349  The chapter devoted to Shakespeare in Russian music and the arts is well illustrated, including little know works by Repin, Vrubel and other artists. FAMOUS QUOTATIONS FROM SHAKESPEARE To be or not to be? That is the question. (Hamlet) When clouds appear wise men put on their cloaks (плащи) (Richard III) The fool thinks he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. (Ay You Like It) To die: to sleep: no more. (Hamlet) And all the men and women merely players. (As You Like It) There is not darkness but ignorance. (Twelfth Night) But men are men; the best sometimes forget. (Othello) Wake not a sleeping wolf (волк). (Henry IV) Oh, what men dare do! what men may do! what men daily do, not knowing what they do! (Much Ado About Nothing) A peace is jf the nature of a conquest; For then both parties nobly are subdued, And neither party loser (1). (Henry V). AN OPINION Carl Sandburg, the famous American author, was invited to attend the dress rehearsal of a very serious play by a very serious young playwright. He came, but unfortunately he slept through a greater part of the play. The angry playwright said to him later: "How could you sleep when you knew how much I wanted your opinion ?" "Young man", Sandburg replied, "sleep is an opinion". Примечание (1)Перевод: Мир по своей природе го же, что победа; Ибо тогда обе стороны благородно (с достоинством) подчиняются. И ни та, ни другая сторона не проигрывает. Урок двадцать четвертый 349 |
