She never told her love, But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud, Feed on her damask cheek; she pin'd in thought; And, with a green and yellow melancholy, She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?.. " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Twelfth Night’, act II, sc. 4) — Герцог: "Скажи мне эту повесть." Виола: "В ней белые страницы": "Страсть ее Таилась молча и, как червь в цветке, Снедала жар ее ланит; в зеленой И желтой меланхолии она Застыла как надгробная покорность И улыбалась. Это ль не любовь?.." (перевод М. Лозинского)

Если ты думаешь, что мне очень приятно изображать статую терпения, когда мне морочат голову, то ты очень ошибаешься."
