Shakespeare you based memer.

This friendliness has been a transvaluation of my contempt for you out of a telelogically recurrent compassion. It all comes in me, and I am the divider. It is a ego trip, but I think it rests not on the ego alone.

The splendor falls on castle walls
And snowy summits old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.

O, hark, O, hear! how thin and clear,
And thinner, clearer, farther going!
O, sweet and far from cliff and scar
The horns of Elfland faintly blowing!
Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying,
Blow, bugles; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.

O love, they die in yon rich sky,
They faint on hill or field or river;
Our echoes roll from soul to soul,
And grow forever and forever.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying.

I try to have a charitable view when it comes to him but his poetry is objectively boring. Ulysses is good but I don’t think I’ve ever finished a longer poem by him.
