So full of shapes is fancy That it alone is high fantastical.

[Shades]

If music be the food of love, play on.
Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again, it had a dying fall.
Oh, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor. Enough, no more.
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.


I think I have played on too long in this hobby....t'is not as much fun as it once was. Time to take a break........

Very intriguing writing style there Shades.

That said... If it is time to take a break then do so. All hobbies should be enjoyable. Enjoy your break, and find something to occupy your time with so you don't feel driven back to it before you are ready.
