Winters Tale 5.3.9-23

• LEONTES . . .we cameTo see the statue of our
  queen your galleryHave we pass'd through, not
  without much contentIn many singularities but
  we saw notThat which my daughter came to look
  upon,The statue of her mother.
• PAULINA As she lived peerless,So her dead
  likeness, I do well believe,Excels whatever yet
  you look'd uponOr hand of man hath done
  therefore I keep itLonely, apart. But here it
  is prepareTo see the life as lively mock'd as
  everStill sleep mock'd death behold, and say
  'tis well.
• PAULINA draws a curtain, and discovers HERMIONE
  standing like a statue
• I like your silence, it the more shows offYour
  wonder but yet speak first, you, my
  liege,Comes it not something near?

• Her natural posture!Chide me, dear stone, that I
  may say indeedThou art Hermione or rather, thou
  art sheIn thy not chiding, for she was as
  tenderAs infancy and grace. But yet,
  Paulina,Hermione was not so much wrinkled,
  nothingSo aged as this seems. 5.3.23-29
• O, thus she stood,Even with such life of
  majesty, warm life,As now it coldly stands, when
  first I woo'd her!I am ashamed does not the
  stone rebuke meFor being more stone than it?

5.2.80-90

• One of the prettiest touches of all and that
  whichangled for mine eyes, caught the water
  though notthe fish, was when, at the relation of
  the queen'sdeath, with the manner how she came
  to't bravelyconfessed and lamented by the king,
  howattentiveness wounded his daughter till,
  from onesign of dolour to another, she did, with
  an 'Alas,'I would fain say, bleed tears, for I
  am sure myheart wept blood. Who was most marble
  there changedcolour some swooned, all sorrowed
  if all the worldcould have seen 't, the woe had
  been universal.

5.3.115-18

• That she is living,Were it but told you, should
  be hooted atLike an old tale but it appears she
  lives,Though yet she speak not. Mark a little
  while.
