Period 3
INTRODUCTION
For my project I took quotes from different Shakespeare plays and sonnets and, using the topic of love, made a found poem out of it.
Plays used: Romeo and Juliet A Midsummer
Night’s Dream Love’s Labour's Lost Hamlet Sonnet 88
“Is love a tender thing?”
“ Love is a smoke raised with the fume

“ Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.”
“Things base and vile folding no quantity

“Form’d by the eye and therefore, like

“Such is my love to thee I so belong. That for thy right myself will hear all wrong.”
“This is the very ecstasy of love…”
