Hamlet, Act II Scene II, lines 280-291, Translation

Original Text: “I have of late—but wherefore I know not—lost all my mirth, forgone  all custom of exercises; and indeed it goes so heavily with my  disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile  promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave  o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire,  why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation  of vapors. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in  reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and  admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a  god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me,  what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not me; no, nor woman neither…” First Translation: I have, as of late- I do not know why- lost all my joy and ceased all my physical activities. Yes, this mood of mine … Continue reading
