Diagramming Shakespear 26 CAT.5

[Frank Antonson]

...For naught so vile that on this earth doth live
But to the earth some special good doth give;
Nor aught so good, but strain'd from that fair use,
Revolts on true birth stumbling on abuse:...

(Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence, the original ecologist!)

There is a sentence worthy of diagramming!

 

[Frank Antonson]

I'll work on this one Saturday, but I would love it if someone could solve it before that.

This thing is a beast, Frank!

 

[Frank Antonson]

I know it is, Elizabeth, but I love that sentence. There is so much wisdom in it. I was not kidding when I called Friar Lawrence (and through him Shakespeare) the original ecologist. Friar Lawrence' whole speech is a masterwork.
I must say, however, that is the most intricate sentence I have diagrammed so far -- definitely a catergory 5.

 

[Frank Antonson]

I meant "category".

What a beautiful cascade! Diving into a sea of words can be very refreshing.
I’ll work on a good transfusion of the Bard’s words.

 

[Frank Antonson]

Nice way to put it!

I guess you might have seen in an earlier post that I love the thought in that sentence.

"Cascade of words" -- that's good.

 

[chester_100]

For naught so vile that on this earth doth live
زيرا هيچيك آنقدر پليد نيست كه بر زمين زيست يابد​

But to the earth some special good doth give;
بي آنكه بهره اي ويژه بر زمين ارزاني دارد​

Nor aught so good, but strain'd from that fair use,
و نه هيچيك آنچنان نيكو، كه تا از بهره نيك به كژي كشانندش​

Revolts on true birth stumbling on abuse:...
ز سرشت راستين سر بركشد و به ناروا گرايد...​

Lovely! I can only hope (and feel comfortable with the hope) that the message is there in Persian. Your calligraphy is beautiful.
