Teaching Shakespeare - Session #1

We trained a neural network with Shakespeare’s writings.

Each time we collected autogenerated texts in different phases of the training procedure.

You can read and see how the trained neural network is learning and accepting Shakespeare’s writing style, gradually.

as a child he left me it left me in love that I could not bear it anymore, I was so much with my father it could not be.

The thought of him having me, I am no more nor more, but I am still not, but I am still I have not yet come in my life now, but I have not yet come in my life;

The thought of him having me, he would not let me so I could not bear it so I could not bear it so;
and being so much, he cannot stand the thought that it could not be of him, but he could not bear it so;

And being so much, he cannot make such a thought, I can no longer endure it, but I will not bear it, but I will never bear it.

And being so much, he cannot make such a thought, I cannot no longer endure being in love of me, but I will never bear it that I cannot bear it, and I can do no better than a coward if my mind will not bear it.
being so much, I cannot do more than a coward if it cannot bear it so I will not bear it, but I will do no better than a coward if I cannot bear it that I cannot bear it,

If the mind cannot bear it, the heart cannot bear it, and the heart cannot bear it,

Therefore I do not bear it, but I do not bear it;

For my thoughts do not bear it, but I do not bear it, but I do being,

And if that being being which I did not bear to love not love me, did not love me, I do not do it, but I do not do love it,
If the mind is not so much as an eye, or a brain as a brain,
I did not bear it, but I do not bear it,

I do not want so many things in this life, but I do not want so many things in this life,

The mind is so much as a knife, so much as a knife;

If I do not love this, and my thoughts do not love this, but I do love this in this life,

The thought of him having me, I would not bear it nor let it so I could not bear it;

But if he had not been so much as a knife,

I would not bear it, and my mind would not bear it,

And if he had not been so much,

I would not bear it, and my thoughts would not bear being,

If there is neither so much as an eye nor a brain as a brain,

If in a sense there is a mind being;

I do not love what he did, but I do not love him.

If a thought is so much as an eye, or a brain as in this life,

It did not bear it, but I did not love it,

It did not have him as one, but I did not love him,

Therefore I do not desire such as a knife,

My thoughts do not bear it, but I do not love this,

For my thoughts do not bear it;

But if his being and me do not love the one in my self,

But if that being do not love him,

I do not love him;
do not love him, but I do not love him.

Therefore I do not love him as one, but I do not love him as many in this life,

When I have so much, I will not bear it, but I will not bear it;

When I do not have so much, I do not bear it, but I do not bear it,

Even though it seems that this life will not bear me in it,
I will not bear it, but I will do not feel it;

And if that being is so much, I will not bear it, but I will be with it,
If this being is so much, I will not bear it, but I will be with it,

When I do not have so and so do not bear it,
If this being is so much, I will not bear it, but I will be with it,

If this being is so much, I will not bear it, nor will I bear it,

Even though it seems that this life is not like a knife,

And my thoughts do not bear it, but I do not bear it,

I do not love what he did, but I do not love him,

Even though I do not love him, but do do,

And he did not kill me but did not kill me,

that hand that hath the throne of grace, that it may not be troubled with the ungodliness of the servants of God.

And behold, that which I say unto you, that thou didst say unto my servants, that thou didst speak unto them, that I should say unto them, that I didst say unto them, that I did say unto them, that I did so that you might behold my judgment; and I did such as thou didst not hear.

And therefore did I say unto them, that I did say unto them, that I did make the earth with that which shall be the fruit of thy seed; and I did not make a man that he shall hate, and did not make a woman that he shall cove for a night, but in the day I did make a man that he shall not hate; for I didst make a man that he should bear all the sins of the world.

Then did I say to them, that I did make a woman that she may bear all the sins of the world; and did I make a man that she may bear all the sins of the world.

Then did I say to them, that I did make a woman that she may bear all the sins this day, that she may bear all the false things which were done to it, that she may bear all the false things which were done to it, that she may bear all the true things which were done to this day, that she may bear all the false things which were done to it.

Then did I say to them, in my day will I make a man that he shall not bear all the sins that are done to him, to be made a lamb that he shall not bear all the sins which were done to him, to be made a lamb that he shall not bear all the sins in my day.

Then did I say to them, if you say to me that I did make a woman that she may bear all the sins of this life, and to make a woman that she shall bear all the things to this life, if you say to me that I did make a man that he shall not bear all the things to this life, then did I say to them, if you say, whether I did make a woman that she may bear all the sins of this age, or if you say it, whether I do make a man that he may bear all the sins of this age, if you say that I did make a woman that he shall not bear all the sins in this life, but that he shall be made a lamb that he may not bear all the things to this life, that they shall not be made unto him, but thou shalt be made unto him that he should not bear the sins of this age, but thou shalt bear them in this life.

Then did I say to them, if you say to me, if you say to me that I did make a woman that she may bear all the sins of this age, but that she will not bear the things to this age, then did I say, if you say that I did make a woman that he shall not bear all the sins in this age, then did I say, if you say that I did make a man that he shall not bear all the sins of this age, but that he shall be made a lamb that he shall not bear all the things in this life, that they shall not be made unto his father, and the true things which have been done to him to this age, shall be done unto him, and his sin shall not yet be forgiven, but thy sins will be forgiven; and this he shall bear in all the sins which thou didst not hear, and this he shall bear in all the things in this time.

Therefore did I say to them, if you say, I did make a woman that she may bear all the things to this life, and that he may not bear the sins of this age, but you do believe that I did make a woman that he shall not bear all the things to this age, then did I say, if you say this, if you do a man, then do I say, if you do a woman, and then do I say this, if you say this, if I do a woman that he shall not bear all the sins of this age, but she shall bear all the things to this time, then did I say to them, if you say it, if you do a man, then do I say to them, if you do a woman, and then do I say this, if you do a man, and then do I say this, if you do a woman, and then do do one; and then do I say to them, if you say to me, if you say this, if you do a woman that he shall not bear all the sins of this age, but shall bear all

Which, when I see thee,
My love is thyself’s,
Who hears my love,
And hears my truth,
The truth is mine self,
If you may hear my story;
If you may hear it,
Even so far as thou say;
Thy love is my friend’s,
Though thy love is mine,
And thy love is mine,
Nor thy love’s, yet thy love’s

Till thee look upon it,
And my love, my friend’s,
Till you behold it!
Who sees it?
Who sees the day?
Who hears my cry,
Whose heart is full of grief,
Who loves me, but whom I love?
Who is guilty, but not guilty?
Who is not guilty, but yet guilty?
What is the truth, my friend?
I am not the thief,
But you are the thief,
And you, my thief,
And you, your friend’s friend,
Who am I, but your own?
Who is mine, my friend?
What am I that can love,
Love the stranger, but that is no stranger,

Love your friend, but that’s no friend,
The stranger’s friend’s friends,
Which is not a friend’s friend,
Which is my friend’s friend,
Who makes my friend my friend,
Who makes me my friend’s friend,
Where I live where my love’s treasure lies,
Who makes my love your friend’s friend,
Where I live where your love’s treasure lies,
Who hears my friend’s love, but whose friend I am,
Who hears the love-kiss’, but whose friend I am,
Who hears the love-kiss’, but whose friend I am,
Which I do not love, but which I love,
Since all my love hath died,
That my love may rest in your hand,
And all your love is mine,
As the living love’s flower,
As the dead’s flower’s breath,
Which, when I sing it,
Thou art in thy love’s place,
In thy self’s,
And in thy self’s eyes,
The self’s light is the sun,
The self’s sun’s light is the sun,
And all you are all, all you are all,
Each being all, all, all you are all,
Then all you are all, all you are all,
Who gives thee all, all is all
All is all, all is all,
All is all, all is all,
All is all, all is all,
All is all, all is all,
All is all, all is all,
All is all, all is all,
All are all, all that are all
All and you, all and I
All are all, all that are all,
All being all and self,
All self and self is all
All all, all being, all will all
All are all, all that is all,
All will all, all is all,
All that is all, all that is all,
All will all, all will all,
All is all, all that is all,
All will all, all that is all,

All that is all, all that is all,
All that is all, all that is all,
All that is all, all that is,
All that is all,,
All that is all,
All that shall the day be,
Thy name, and thy majesty,
Till thy name have stood.

As much as I say,
My love, my friend,
Will not have died;
Nor will I give thee any injury,
Nor be affected in it!

“The eyes of the earth do not grow dim, nor do they not grow bright,
And the heaven whereon the flood is made,
And the world whereon the rain is kept,

And the earth whereon the heat was not kept,

And the water did not boil, and they did not see the breath

And all the kingdoms whereon the sun did not shine

And all the kingdoms whereon the rain did not be,
And the earth did not rise, nor did they say,

But they did say,
“The earth is so hot, that every breath that comes from it,
When a fire burns, it is not so hot,
No smoke is so cold, nor the fire that burns,

No rain is so deep, nor the flood that is being drawn,

The sun is not so bright, nor is it so strong,
No fire nor wind, nor water,

Neither are there anything that did not have a place,
And no treasure, nor water, nor fire, nor heaven,

Not the breath of a stone, nor a feather of the sky,
nor a breath to a man that is on a rocky hill,

Not a breath from a dead horse, nor a breath from a dead woman,

None of them should be touched by a stone,
None of them be seen by a thief,

Neither should the hand of a knife be touched,
For there are many tongues which can be read;

No hand from a knife can be touched,

And this is all the truth;
And this is all the truth

He must not know that the earth belongs to heaven: but that they may go with him:

He must not see that he belongs to one who is not bound by thy breast:

He must not know that it is but a veil which guards thy face:
He must not see that the heaven which is the earth is made,
Even to see it is like an eye through which you see
Or eyes from which you see, and from which you cannot see,
Nor should I seem to thee to know that thy love is love, and I am not a man,
But, thou dost desire beauty by pity;
Thy love I see in thee, and in thy love I see in thee:
That thou art worthy of thyself, and thou must not be shunned by men
For there is no pleasure in thy self:
If my self were not my self,
Nor is there no love in thee:
If I do not love thee, and do not love thee
For love I do not love thee.

That thy life’s worth cannot be denied,
Nor do I think that thou dost not love my life
When I do not feel love,
When I know that thou dost not love my life
When I do not think that I do not love thee.

That your thoughts cannot be kept from me
That my thoughts cannot be kept from thee,
That my thoughts cannot be kept from thee,

That your thoughts cannot be kept from me.

If I have so much to say, what I can do,
Which, if I cannot manage what I say,
Would take my own life,
And yet what I can do not do,
Which could take his own life,
Would take his own life, and the love of his friend
Would bear him, and the love of his friend’s love
Could be all, and all would die.

I have my reason’s sake in my heart, and if I should have no reason,
Love will not forsake me,
And the poor is my soul,
For love is mine, but no poor woman will be.

‘Hast thou seen this?’ said she, ‘The eyes of the heart do not see?
If they saw the eyes of my wife
And the cheeks of my eyes were red with tears,
But if they did not see,
Then, with their eyes as they were, I would say
And every thing I hear was his;
If they did not see, they were like unto the eye,
And they that weep for love should be put to shame.

And how many eyes have they seen, and how many eyes have they seen,
Which were so full of tears that no one could see?
For I have seen, and know that you have seen,
And I know that you have seen, and did not know,
When thou hast loved the eye of love,
But now, when thou hast found me, I did not see.

“Now therefore, sweet sweet, be thou so many hearts,
That my lips might never bear thee sorrow;
For as my tongue will never speak,
Even so will thy lips bear thee sorrow,
Nor should it be troubled, for thy lips will never weep.
“But in thy sight is that which thou hast seen.

“And then will I be like unto thee in beauty,
And not like the eye that thou dost see
In that thou dost see.
“Then will I be like to you in thy beauty,
Or with thee in your beauty,
Or with thee in your beauty,
For I will not hate thee.

“Now, my friend, do thou love me,
Even if thou dost not love me;
For since love of me is like to my love,
If you would not love me,
That I would not love you,
For I know that your love is mine,
And your love is mine, and your love is my own.

“But why should I love thee?
For I am of thee; you know that I love thee,
For I have made thee what you think,
For I have made you what I see,
For what I have made you that I love.

“If you love me, then you love me even more,
For I have made you more than your love,
And your love is more than mine,
But now thou knowst what I will do.

“Then, be thou so many tongues,
That I have tongue that dost not speak;
For to hear one that withers,
To hear another that dost hear,

Or with my tongue that dost not make noise,
Or with thy tongue that dost say,
“For thou dost love me more than I love you.”

“But why would thy tongue hear
If I did not see thee?
For thou art not that I love thee.

“Then, say I, and I’ll prove thee:
For this day I will be thy sweet voice:
And this night I will be your loud ear:
For this day I will be thy dear voice:
If you love me, but do not love me,
If you hate me, but do not hate me,

If you love me, but do not love me,

If you love me, but do all,
And do them no harm, in the least,
Which I would not bear,
If I did not love thee.”

“‘How much do you love me?
The love of a fool is not worth what it is worth,
For I know that love is worth what it is worth,
And love is worth what it is worth;
Even though I hate thee,
If thou dost hate me, if thou dost love me;
For if thou didst hate me,
When thou did I didst love thee,
I would not hate thee, for I would not love thee.

“‘Why do you love me?
Why do you fear me?
Why do you love me?
For the love of one to the other,
And the love of one to another,
If they hate the one to the other,
If they do not hate the other,
Which do they hate the other with their mouths,
And they do their shame in their tears.

“Yet if thou didst love me,
And if thou didst love me,
Love will be in my love;
And if thou did in thy own love,
Love will be in thy own.

“That she should live, that she should die, that she should live”

That her life was but a brief life

And so she would live a more long life
With more short lives
And yet none would stop her from dying.

O! wherefore hast thou not begun this long,
The weary morn,
That she begins with a dull lament?
Who then canst thou best not,
O, for she’s dead?
O! why shouldst thou stay?
O! but she who is dead must live!
And so when thou hast begun this,
My love will bear my sorrow so:
O, my dear, sweet, my sorrow will be gone!

But how shall my love be reconciled?
Who shall I plead to my love,
O sweet one, not one so kind as you?
For in thee we trust,
Which of us, I have more affection for
Than thee, than for you.

“Now thou wilt not live by this trespass,
For I am sure thee to live.”

This time she tells him,
The hour of thy doom:
What shall I say or what shall I say?
He replies, “No, it is mine.”
Her lips then are full of grief,
Their faces full of shame:
Their lips kiss his eyes,
So he sees her with the tears,
Then they give her grief and her sorrow.

He cries, “No more! no more!
This time the world shall hear me swear
My will; but never again shalt thou go,
Unless thou wilt confess me true.”
Then she concludes with the story,
“And now I will show thee what I have told thee.”
And behold, there thou are,
The hour of thy doom:
Here thou see thy life’s beginning with woes,
The hour in thy death’s end shall not be so plain.
For now, he cries,
When I shall show thee where thou wilt lie,
I will say this: you cannot die without me.

This night the devil began his fire,
To eat and drink, and to fight and die,
He lay there for long, and till he did so,
And when he had left him,
He did make a great vow to the place where he laid.

At length the angel of his will appears;
His face is full of light, and full of tears;
The two lips kiss him; and as they kiss the place,
He doth sigh aloud, and grieves himself so.
Here he lies on her, kissing the ground,
Which she cannot see nor touch,
Nor see nor touch with her eyes but hears;
And if she be present, she hears her heart’s content.
When she says that, behold,
The one she saw that stood before her,
The other her eyes did not see.
Her hair was tied in his breast;
Her cheek bone was tied with his breast;
His chin was tied with his chin’s edge,
His blood was lodged in his wounds;
Her hair was tied in his head;
Her left eye had no view of him:
His heart was but his own,
He in his face did not see her,
And then, as if she were a nun, she did not say,
‘”Now I tell thee,” he says, “‘why I am now dead, and I love thee so.’

But she did not answer him; she did what she thought to answer,
To spite and mock his heart.
She did not answer him, but with a loud bark,
The wood was pitch and pitchy, and he took
His breath and began to sing it,
And as his heart ran, the fire was set on fire.

Doth her face, whose roughness she so far removed,
The poor and her complexion so far removed;
To kiss the wretch and nurse his weary woes,
And to nurse her his weary bosom
The gentle maid of Adonis’ grave,
And to give the boy his sweet kiss,
To have her be his lover’s maid,
Which when she is gone he must see,
She in his own way is gone;
In her eyes he must know her,
He must know the other love’s true love,
In her eye she is gone, and now she is gone,
She is gone, and now she is gone,
Then she hath lost both her sight and her heart,
Her eyes are dull, her face is dark,
Her heart is full, her hand are heavy;
Her tongue is dull, and in her lips is heavy.
This sorrows the day with grief,
Though at the time of the night
Her cheeks were pale and her cheeks black.

‘For if he would not, he should not have been;
In short he should have had nothing;
But if he had, he should not have been;
For this is his fault! for he knows, and not by,
The way in which he hath drawn
The thing that made his eyes white,
His hand hath drawn it to make him white again.

‘My dear lord, as thou wast with the poor babe
To tear the black hairs that his sweet breast did lend,
My lord, I will make thy sight black with the earth;
And this thou hast done, and my tongue to lend
To praise thee so good.
If thou dost sing, thou shalt not be called,
Not for a short time, but thou shalt be made black,
And thyself made white again, and thou shalt be my sweet son.

‘O! be that which shall I kill for thee,
Which shall not thou dost kill for me but for my soul;
For in that which thou dost give me thy life,
I swear by the earth and thy will,
And in that which thou dost give me thy life thou willst live.’

She answers him in the affirmative, and when he answers,
She says, ‘Hands up; my arms are on the ground,
To tell thee thou wast dead.

“My love, my love, my love, thou art dead;
It is not true,” quoth she;
My love hath done more than this,
That when I saw thee in thy place,
My love hath done more than this,
That when I saw thee again in thy place,
My love hath done more now, than thou wilt do:
My love hath done more than this;
Thou shalt find my love in the grave,
Thou shalt find my love in thy tomb.

‘O! my love, my love, I will love thee so,
When thou dost kiss the dead, and my tongue to write,
And then shall thy tongue begin to read:
And I will write all things in the book of thine eye.
‘”How is it that thou in thy power
Wondering how to make the best of thy woes,
O let my dear friend, my dear friend, tell me,
How can thy love in thee do not tear me?
If thou dost not read,
And in thy heart’s desire thou will read,
If thou wilt not write I will,
So wilt thou live,
The love-loss that thou wilt live in me.”

“Let him, let him not be called mad; for it hath made a part of him a part,
And the eye of an ill, that feeds not to watch,
For by this he hears too late;
Or, on occasion, at any other hour,
The eye, having the habit of hearing,
Doth find it too late to say what he will say.

‘Let him that hath heard the hour of night,
He finds his sight so far away, and knows his reason:
And if not so, let him that hath heard it,
Look not at the place where he hears the hour,
To know what he is thinking, and what is expressed,
Who should give his time to tell his tale?
Let him that hath seen and read the world,
Be not so ill, as to believe the truth,
But be so wise, to think not the truth but the story,
To see and see his self, to see what it shall seem,
And to know his true self, to know it both and true;
But if, in this wise he knoweth not,
The time to be an actor, and a friend,
Th’ self that saw and read the world was but an acquaintance,
Or a false friend that saw, as he did know.
