Good Sir Shakespeare,
I am compelled to relate to you how much your literary works have affected my being. Perhaps with well-chosen points, I may be able to produce an explanation worthy of your time. “ Our best intentions mark the road to hell.”-Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet. This haunting quote from your play has impacted me in ways I cannot verbalize.
