Bravery is required mostly by the desperate side

- Through the language glass
O, that infected moisture of his eye,
O, that false fire which in his cheek so glowed,
O, that forc'd thunder from his heart did fly,
O, that sad breath his spungy lungs bestowed,
O, all that borrowed motion seeming owed,
Would yet again betray the fore-betray'd,
And new pervert a reconciled maid!

(الترجمة الحرفية: مجنون كصانعِ قبعات)

هي مقولة إنكليزية نشأت بسبب أنه صانعي القبعات بالقرن الـ19 جانوا يستخدمون الزئبق علمود يصنعون اللباد felt اللي يستخدموه بصناعة القبعات... ونتيجة للتعرض الطويل للزئبق، جان يصير بيهم تسمم بالزئبق واللي أعراضه تشبه الخرف dementia... فجانوا يصيرون "مجانين"

القصيدة الأصلية:
When I am dead, my dearest,

Sing no sad songs for me;

Plant thou no roses at my head,

Nor shady cypress tree:

Be the green grass above me

With showers and dewdrops wet;

And if thou wilt, remember,

And if thou wilt, forget.


I shall not see the shadows,

I shall not feel the rain;

I shall not hear the nightingale

Sing on, as if in pain:

And dreaming through the twilight

That doth not rise nor set,

Haply I may remember,

And haply may forget.
