Claudette Cleopatra

Claudette Colbert was Cecil B. DeMille's Cleopatra in 1934.




MARK ANTONY
She is cunning past man's thought.

DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
Alack, sir, no; her passions are made of nothing but
the finest part of pure love: we cannot call her
winds and waters sighs and tears; they are greater
storms and tempests than almanacs can report: this
cannot be cunning in her; if it be, she makes a
shower of rain as well as Jove.

MARK ANTONY
Would I had never seen her.

DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
O, sir, you had then left unseen a wonderful piece
of work; which not to have been blest withal would
have discredited your travel.


Since I know you have nothing better to do, read Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra.
