Quote by William Shakespeare

Through the forest have I gone.But Athenian found I none,On whose eyes I might approveThis flower's force in stirring love.Night and silence.--Who is here?Weeds of Athens he doth wear:This is he, my master said,Despised the Athenian maid;And here the maiden, sleeping sound,On the dank and dirty ground.Pretty soul! she durst not lieNear this lack-love, this kill-courtesy.Churl, upon thy eyes I throwAll the power this charm doth owe.When thou wakest, let love forbidSleep his seat on thy eyelid:So awake when I am gone;For I must now to Oberon.

Through the forest have I gone.But Athenian found I none,On

In this quote from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the fairy Puck discovers an Athenian man, whom his master has instructed him to target with a love potion. The man despised an Athenian woman, but Puck confuses him with another man who is sleeping nearby. Puck decides to use his magic to ensure that when the man wakes up, he will fall in love with the woman he despised. Puck casts a spell, hoping that love will prevent the man from sleeping peacefully until he meets his true love, as Puck must now go to Oberon, the fairy king.
