“There is no world without Verona walls,
But purgatory, torture, hell itself.
Hence banishèd is banished from the world,
And world's exile is death. Then ""banishèd""
Is death mistermed. Calling death ""banishèd"",
Thou cuttest my head off with a golden axe
And smilest upon the stroke that murders me.”

“Twitter, as I understand it, is a sort of "Hell" that I was banished to upon death in my previous life.”

Context: Twitter, as I understand it, is a sort of "Hell" that I was banished to upon death in my previous life. In this abstract realm, the only thing I am certain of is that my cries are awarded "Favs" or "RTs" when they are particularly miserable or profane. These ethereal merits do nothing to ease my suffering, but I have deliriously convinced myself that gathering enough of them will impress my unseen superiors and grant me a promotion to a higher plane of existence. This is my sole motivation.

“And like a prophetess of May
Strewed flowers upon the barren way,
Making the wintry world appear
Like one on whom thou smilest, dear.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) English Romantic poet
