# William Shakespeare By [sky zhu](https://paragraph.com/@sky-zhu) ยท 2021-11-24 --- the time of life is short ; to spend that shortness basely, it would be too long . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In delay there lies no plenty , Then come kiss me , sweet and twenty , Youth's a stuff that will not endure . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ignorance is the curse of God, knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep. ---------------------------------------------- --- *Originally published on [sky zhu](https://paragraph.com/@sky-zhu/william-shakespeare)*
