Mail d.d.24 februari 1993 van ADD
To W.J.R. van Lynden, Singapore
Ik kocht gisteren in de locale 'take-away'.een loempia en een Foe Yong Hai.
Ontmoette een Chinees, die zo vriendelijk was een beëdigde vertaling te geven van het artikel, dat je mij toegezonden hebt. Ik wil je die vertaling niet onthouden'.
quote
Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo ! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not be but sworn my love, and I will no longer be a Capulet
Romeo (aside)
Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Juliet:
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thy self thou, not a Montague. What's Montague? It is not a hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O ! be some other name:
What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.. So Romeo, were he not Romeo called, retain that perfection which he owes without that title. Romeo, doff thy name en for that name, which is no part of thee, take all myself.Unquote
O, ik moest je nog zeggen: Despised and rejected "door de RABO Bank en nu "acquainted with grief," gaat "Remi" alleen verder op de wereld op zoek naar een "Vitalis."
Liefs aan Sonia, Aadje
Nadere uitleg van
Juliet’s profound soliloquy (Act 2, Scene 2) reminds us that true identity is defined by character and actions, not by the labels we are given by society.In this famous monologue from Romeo and Juliet, Juliet argues that names are completely arbitrary. Just as a rose would smell just as sweet if it were called by any other word, she reasons that Romeo would retain his perfection even if he had a completely different name. Because their families' bitter feud is tied entirely to their last names—Montague and Capulet—she begs him to shed his name and embrace true love without the restrictions of a title.
