Info:
We had to make a soliloquy for a project in my class, so if course I'm going to share it. :) It is based off of one in Macbeth, so if it seems familiar that's why. However, this one doesn't involve a dagger ;) (btw for those who don't know, a soliloquy is basically a long speech to yourself)
Is this a carrot I see before me,
Fresh from the earth? Come, let me hold thee.
I cannot touch thee, yet I see thee still.
Are thou vision false, nothing but trickery,
To touch as it is to sight? Or are you
Only a picture from the mind, an imagined carrot,
Made to torture my senses? I see thee there, orange and earthy, as true
As the ground below my feet. You tempt thy senses more and more;
And thou was planning to put thee in my salad.
Thee fool thou sight for the other senses,
All the rest have taken leave yet still I see thee clearly with the dirt washed away, which was not so before, showing the gleaming carrot. There's no way:
'tis the perfect temptation which informs
Mine eyes to be true. Now over all my sleep I have nightmares
About cutting it. Other cooks celebrate the failed perfection. See not the carrot I shall soon ruin with my shaking hands.
The very carrot surrounded my whereabouts and state the carrot is chopped magnificently.
Words to my taste and perfect to what I should smell.
DINNER'S READY!
I go, and it is done; the call invites me.
Hear it not a gleaming carrot for it is true
That summons thee to kitchen or table.
