The Transformation of Desire

It's Shakespeare's Line Anyway
 
Game 3: Funeral Game:
 
DYLAN: Tis True, Tis true, and thus Adonis is slain. And nuzzling in his flank the loving swine, unaware, unsheathed the tusk in his soft groin. Adonis was a good man, loved the hunt, but in the end but in the end it was the hunt that loved him more. It cost him his life. Adonis really had a thing for boars. Some (Sir James George Frazer) say it was a boar that rent the bark of the myrrh tree so sweet Adonis could be born. He was a good man who will be greatly missed. I'd like to give thanks to Venus for all the flowers. Would you like to say a word dear?
JAMIE: I'd like to start by saying thank you all for coming today. (break down) Oh Adonis! Oh sweet, sweet Adonis! Cursed fates....HAGS! Oh Adonis, since though art dead, lo! I prophesy, forever in your name you shall be immortal, as a flower, the anemone, and as you suffered so shall everyone else. Sweet beginning, but oh so unsavory end. Oh how love is bittersweet. Oh how love...love...how love sucks.
