Each in his narrow cell forever laid,
The rude Forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
--
St. 4.Thomas Gray
Forever; ’t is a single word!
Our rude forefathers deemed it two:
Can you imagine so absurd
A view?Charles Stuart Calverley
Hamlet's character is the prevalence of the abstracting and generalizing habit over the practical. He does not want courage, skill, will, or opportunity; but every incident sets him thinking; and it is curious, and at the same time strictly natural, that Hamlet, who all the play seems reason itself, should he impelled, at last, by mere accident to effect his object. I have a smack of Hamlet myself, if I may say so.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
At last incapable of further harm,
The lewd forefathers of the village sleep.Sir John Squire
O eyes long laid in happy sleep!
O happy sleep, that lightly fled!
O happy kiss, that woke thy sleep!
O love, thy kiss would wake the dead!Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,
Dreaming o'er the joys of night.
Sleep, sleep: in thy sleep
Little sorrows sit and weep.William Blake
