Accursed, unhappy, wretched, hateful day!
Most miserable hour that e’er time saw
In lasting labour of his pilgrimage!
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 4, Scene 5. A grief-stricken Lady Capulet laments the death of Juliet, her only child. Time is also personified here. Lady Capulet is not aware that her daughter is merely in a deep sleep. This entire scene is concerned with appearance vs reality, an important theme throughout the play.
