„There is no world without Verona walls,But purgatory, torture, hell itself.Hence banishèd is banished from the world,And world’s exile is death. Then “”banishèd””Is death mistermed. Calling death “”banishèd””,Thou cuttest my head off with a golden axeAnd smilest upon the stroke that murders me.“

— William Shakespeare
