Hi Guys!
Tomorrow is Saint Valentine's Day. Romantic Happy Valentine's Day to all of  you from Jacob.
Hope you will all enjoy with your dearest ones.....!!!

Here are a few beautiful lines of Shakespeare which came to my mind on this occasion.....

Valentine's Day is mentioned ruefully by Ophelia in Hamlet:

To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,
All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.
Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,
And dupp'd the chamber-door;
Let in the maid, that out a maid
Never departed more.

—William Shakespeare , Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5.
