About This Quote

The way this quote is phrased can make it sound like two people who are about to kiss, and the person who initiates the kiss is not looking into the eyes of his or her partner. However, with a little more insight, we can clearly see that this is not what Shakespeare meant. The speaker of the quote has made a mistake and now feels horrible for doing so.
