Juliet’s Balcony
“What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun.”
The balcony from which Juliet swears her love to Romeo is one of the most evocative and romantic places in the world. This is the setting for the key scene of Shakespeare’s play, the famous dialogue between Romeo and Juliet, in which the two young lovers declare their love and decide to get married in secret, in an exchange of famous lines:
- “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’ll no longer be a Capulet”. [...]
- “My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, because it is an enemy to thee. Had I it written, I would tear the word”. [...]
- “How cam’st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?”[...]
- “With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls; for stony walls cannot hold love out, and what love can do, that dares love attempt”. [...]
