Questa celebre tragedia di Shakespeare narra le vicende di due famiglie di Verona che si odiano: i Montecchi e i Capuleti, ma soprattutto racconta la storia d'amore tra due ragazzi di queste famiglie: Romeo e Giulietta. Romeo, invaghitosi della giovane ad una festa, se ne innamora seduta stante e, grazie ad una dichiarazione che lei ricambia, decide di proporle un matrimonio segreto. Il giorno dello sposalizio però Romeo viene coinvolto in una rissa e, anche se prima cauto, diviene furibondo quando viene ucciso Mercuzio. Per la rabbia uccide Tebaldo, cugino di Giulietta.

Rómeó er í öngum sínum yfir stúlku sem vill ekkert með hann hafa, svo vinur hans tekur hann með sér í veislu í von um að aðrar fallegar stúlkur muni leiða hugann frá henni. Það tekst svo sannarlega. Þegar Rómeó læsir augunum við unga Júlíu er ást við fyrstu sýn. Til allrar óhamingju uppgötva Rómeó og Júlía brátt að þau tilheyra fjölskyldum sem eiga í ættardeilum og verða þau að halda rómantík sinni leyndri. Frægasta ástarsaga sem skrifuð hefur verið, Rómeó og Júlía, er vísun í bæði hreina sanna ást og harmleik.

The Poetry of Kissing. In many ways the title says it all. Kissing is Poetry. The kiss is perhaps the most loving and intimate moment there is. It is amongst our most soothing and treasured memories. This volume is not about the kiss of a mother’s to her child’s scraped knee, or the father to his baby’s head as he settles down to sleep. No, when the poets here talk of the kiss, they describe the longing and desire, the want and hunger to be part of something that so connects them to another.
