[Romeo:] She speaks, yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold; ’tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
–Romeo and Juliet,
William Shakespeare
