I know that Elise posted her challenge as a way 
to poke fun at the castle residents hormones and 
I REALLY tried to keep it light, however..... 
Hope you like my answer to Elise's challenge. 
And Elise...If you insist on trying to get a 
lightharted piece going, 
than for the Maker's sake DON'T CHOOSE 
HAMLET!!!!!! 
  
A soliloquy 
By Stephni Warner 
October 13, 2000 
  
To cross or not to cross: 
That is the question. 
Whether 'tis nobler for the soul to suffer 
The pangs and hunger of needs and wants 
Or to turn and fight against 
societies push for sameness. 
And for what? To dream: to lust; 
Perhaps more; and, by sleep to say, YES 
The penetrating teeth 
the thousand aged memories 
That each is heir to, 'tis a consummation 
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; 
For in that sleep of undeath what now may come 
When we have moved beyond the mortal view 
Must give us pause. A time to reflect. 
On what is past, and what is to come. 
To view the history that is present 
To know others, more than yourself be known. 
The pangs of Hunger, the hights of the Hunt 
The insolence of mortals, the spurns 
That Elders and Ancient place, 
'Pon newborns into thier race. 
To taste the necter with candles and lace, 
Of others dread of the Masters of Death, 
The unknown pleasures of each nights hunt, 
Where no traveler returns untouched by fate. 
To stay at this safety of same, 
to bear the ills we have, 
Or to fly to one who we know not of. 
Will conscience make cowards of us all; 
Or bring us to a resolution 
To be stopped o'er the pale cast of thought 
And stay in safety's confine and comfort 
Or turn to the dark it's currents turn awry, 
With yourself into this passion. Soft you now! 
Oh lusted one! The heat in my 'orizons 
Be all my sins remember'd.
