Yeah, as part of my english final, I have to memorize a 14 line segment from Romeo and Juliet. I've chosen the first part of one of Friar Laurence's monologues. It isn't really difficult to memorize, more than it is boring as hell. At any rate, her is what I have memorized now:

The grey eyed morn smiles on frowning night;
Chequering the eastern clouds with streaks of light
As flecked darkness the drunkard reels;
from forth day's path and Titan's fiery wheels.
Ere' the sun advances his burning eye
the day to cheep and night's dank dew to dry;
I must up-fill this osier cage of ours
with baleful weeds and precious-juiced flowers.


Yeah, it doesn't seem like a lot, but try saying it outloud and it sounds like a lot more, lol. I hope i'll have the rest done by friday. Shouldn't be too hard though, I hope.

      I go where I please, and I please where I go

      I never liked Romeo & Juliet. I prefer the more violent ones.

              the easiest way i've found to memorize poetry is to draw the image in your head of whats going on so that you're basically just reciting what you're seeing in your head (albeit in much nicer language)...


              but thats just weird, i have to make strange jumps in my brain to tie stuff like that together.

                  Heh, I got it memorized. I just repeated it over and over, in two line chunks, adding two more lines everytime I had the first two memorized, until I was done memorizing.
