My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 2. Juliet tells Romeo that she has endless reserves of love for him. She uses a hyperbolic simile to compare it to the size and depth of the sea. Like Romeo, Juliet is too young and immature to understand the concept of love. She sees her all-consuming and passionate teenage infatuation with the young man she has just met as something "infinite" and "boundless." This will have tragic consequences.
