1. It's simply breath-taking, pleasurable - I can spend hours toying around with the passages, getting into a bliss...it's almost like the most devout prayer
2. My writing needs life, flavour, colour. As someone who blogs (and talks) often, I find myself repeating the same phrases, almost as if my mind can think no other (despite 'thought being free', Twelfth Night, Act 1, Sc.iii)
3. The New Testament epistle of Phillipians admonishes to constantly keep in mind that which is pure, lovely, etc. (Phil 4:8). Shakespearean prose is exactly this.
4. The verses give you new linguistic vehicles to perceive the world, new models by which to live/enjoy life
