More from Christopher Marlowe
Money can’t buy love, but it improves your bargaining position.
I am Envy. I cannot read and therefore wish all books burned.
- Doctor Faustus (c. 1603), Act V, scene i, lines 91–93In context
Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
And then thou must be damn’d perpetually!
Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,
That time may cease, and midnight never come;
Fair Nature’s eye, rise, rise again, and make
Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
A year, a month, a week, a natural day,
That Faustus may repent and save his soul!
Christopher Marlowe on time
Doctor Faustus (c. 1592), spoken by Faustus
