Love Them With My Entire Heart - Tumblr Posts

Do you remember how you first met Rosencrantz and Guildenstern?

We are but longtime childhood friends - how this happened I have absolutely no idea. I suppose it was because I would spent copious hours in the graveyard and my worried Queen mother, the ever brilliant thinker she is, plucked the two dullest creatures from the pavement and set them loose on me like rabid curs. They are opposite of my likeness - brash, immature, entirely witless, yet optimistic and hopeful, brave and good-natured. Qualities that if perhaps I possessed I would be valued by my family. I think that Claudius has painted me villain and turned these noblemen against me, but some nights I wonder if I have done that myself.

This all to say that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have been with me all my life, the shining observers to this mad melodrama. To lose them is to lose hope for the world.
