“What sadness lengthens Romeo’s hours?”
“What a scream of agony by torture lengthened out that lute sent forth!”
“And as the years have passed, the time has grown longer. The sad truth is that what I could recall in five seconds all too needed ten, then thirty, then a full minute - like shadows lengthening at dusk. Someday, I suppose, the shadows will be swallowed up in darkness.”
“Patience is good. It lengthens the scene so you can see what needs to be seen.”
“Aye me sad hours seem long”
“Ay me! sad hours seem long.”
