“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, / That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”

About this quote

Romeo says the line on his way out from the balcony, turning to the empty room rather than to Juliet. Shakespeare gives the joke about the length of the night to a man who has just been told to leave, which is why it reads as light rather than as heartbreak.
