Katherine Cornell as Juliet and Basil Rathbone as Romeo brought new distinction to Shakespeare's tragic story of star-crossed lovers. A tearful parting between the lovers, and a sense of foreboding. Will they ever meet again? ( Act III, scene 5.)
Dialogue
Juliet: "Oh God! I have an ill-divining soul.
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb.
Either my eyesight fails or thou look'st pale.
Romeo: "And trust me, love, in my eye so do you.
Dry sorrow drinks our blood. Adieu, adieu! [Exit] (III.v.54-59)
