To be, or not to be: that is the question:Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;No more; and, by a sleep to say we endThe heart-ache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummationDevoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;For in that sleep of death what dreams may comeWhen we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause. There’s the respectThat makes calamity of so long life;For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,The pangs of dispriz’d love, the law’s delay,The insolence of office, and the spurnsThat patient merit of the unworthy takes,When he himself might his quietus makeWith a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,To grunt and sweat under a weary life,But that the dread of something after death,The undiscover’d country from whose bournNo traveller returns, puzzles the will,And makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not of?Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;And thus the native hue of resolutionIs sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,And enterprises of great pith and momentWith this regard their currents turn awry,And lose the name of action. Soft you now!The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisonsBe all my sins remember’d.¡Ser, o no ser, es la cuestión! -¿Qué debemás dignamente optar el alma nobleentre sufrir de la fortuna impíael porfiador rigor, o rebelarsecontra un mar de desdichas, y afrontándolodesaparecer con ellas?Morir, dormir, no despertar más nunca,poder decir todo acabó; en un sueñosepultar para siempre los doloresdel corazón, los mil y mil quebrantosque heredó nuestra carne, ¡quién no ansiaraconcluir así!¡Morir... quedar dormidos...Dormir... tal vez soñar! -¡Ay! allí hay algoque detiene al mejor. Cuando del mundono percibamos ni un rumor, ¡qué sueñosvendrán en ese sueño de la muerte!Eso es, eso es lo que hace el infortunioplanta de larga vida. ¿Quién querríasufrir del tiempo el implacable azote,del fuerte la injusticia, del soberbioel áspero desdén, las amargurasdel amor despreciado, las demorasde la ley, del empleado la insolencia,la hostilidad que los mezquinos juranal mérito pacífico, pudiendode tanto mal librarse él mismo, alzandouna punta de acero? ¿quién querríaseguir cargando en la cansada vidasu fardo abrumador?...Pero hay espanto¡allá del otro lado de la tumba!La muerte, aquel país que todavíaestá por descubrirse,país de cuya lóbrega fronteraningún viajero regresó, perturbala voluntad, y a todos nos decidea soportar los males que sabemosmás bien que ir a buscar lo que ignoramos.Así, ¡oh conciencia!, de nosotros todoshaces unos cobardes, y la ardienteresolución original decaeal pálido mirar del pensamiento.Así también enérgicas empresas,de trascendencia inmensa, a esa miradatorcieron rumbo, y sin acción murieron.
I love your blog Sonia!, and I feel envious, too. I havent accepted the challenge of joining the bloggers community yet, but now I think I'll give it a second thought. Well done!
Thank you very much. I hope my students are learning something more and enjoying the English language. You can use the site if you want to and I also encourage you to do one yourslef. It's not that difficult and you like computers as much as I do, so it'll be amusing.
