The prince asked her who she was, and where she came from, and she looked at him mildly and sorrowfully with her deep blue eyes; but she could not speak.” The Little Mermaid illustrated by Edmund Dulac, 1911.

Dear tumblr:

hermionejg:

NOT SHAKESPEARE (and certainly not Hamlet, Act 2 Sc 2, which stars Polonius, Queen G, Claudius, R&G):

When I saw you I fell in love and you smiled because you knew.

SHAKESPEARE; in fact, Hamlet Act 2 Sc 2:

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

Good, glad we sorted that one out.

allisonweiss: I think I know where this is. One time I was walking through the city with someone I dated (briefly) last year, and as we held hands and crossed a street, she said something about how much she liked me. As I returned the sentiment, I looked up and immediately saw this sign. Turns out we didn’t last. Turns out neither of us really liked each other all that much. Turns out my life is literally an Ace of Base song.
