So should the murder’d look, and so should I,
Pierced through the heart with your stern cruelty:
Yet you, the murderer, look as bright, as clear,
As yonder Venus in her glimmering sphere.
– William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 3, Scene 2. Demetrius says this to Hermia after she accuses him of wearing the grim face of a murderer. He counters that he has been murdered by her cruel refusal to accept his love while she shines as bright as the planet Venus in the sky (simile).
