Feste is the penultimate example of Shakespeare's "wise fools" (the Fool in "King Lear" being the ultimate, to my mind), with some of the greatest songs in the whole canon. In any case, CapriUni is correct about the speaker; the line is:

Clown: How now, my hearts! did you never see the picture
of 'we three'?

Twelfth Night, II.iii

One of the most important things to bear in mind when reading Shakespeare--or any medieval or early modern popular writer--is that they *were* popular, and wrote material that would appeal to a wide, general audience; to please the people was their livelihood. A remarkable quality of Shakespeare's body of work is its continued ability to instruct, amuse and entertain a wide variety of audiences and readers despite what many modern people perceive as a language barrier.

Of course, the fact is that Shakespeare's language IS essentially modern English, but I think that a lot of the apparent 'problems' stem from just such cultural context clues; things that were familiar to the original audience, but can send current readers--especially the first time, high school or college age variety!--into a tailspin. I've always found that much of this can be alleviated by seeing (or 'hearing,' as they used to say) the play in performance, which is, after all, how they were originally intended to be experienced. Many of the language difficulties disappear when the text is spoken aloud, and if every single reference isn't perfectly clear, the themes and characters are so compelling that those considerations seem to matter a good deal less.

So, while it's certainly true that a close study of the cultural minutiae of Elizabethan/Jacobean daily life will reward the reader with a much richer experience and appreciation of these plays, it remains a rather wonderful truth that wholly modern audiences continue to attend, read, absorb and find contemporary relevance in them.

(And yes, I did laugh at your cartoon, CapriUni!),
