William Shakespeare

стоит ли какать когда хочется писать ?

To defecate or to urinate, that is the question; Whether 'tis nobler in the bowel to suffer The pangs and discomfort of an untimely fecal desire, Or to take arms against a sea of bladder tension And, by releasing, end them. To pee—to void, No more; and by a voiding movement to say we end The stomach ache, and the myriad natural ills That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To void alas, to wee; To excrete, perhaps to fart—ay, there's the rub: For in that release of gas what poops may come, When we have shuffled off this bladder's coil, Must give us pause. There's the respect That makes us pause and hesitate: For who would bear the grunts and strains of bowel's weight, The bathroom's scorn, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of dispriz'd sphincter, the longing delay, The insolence of undigested food, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy bowels When he himself might his tightness loosen With a simple release? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and strain under a weary life, But that the fear of something after excretion, The undiscover'd trip, from whose relief No traveler returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thinking, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.—Soft you now! The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remember'd.
