"On the white wonder of Juliet's hand, may seize and steal immortal blessing from her lips" (page 144)
John quotes Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to express his feelings for Lenina. He was raised learning to read using Shakespeare's complete works, so John can fluently speak beautiful old english. Lenina may have been asleep, but John got carried away by her beauty and quoted the romantic line. Since the first time they saw each other, John and Lenina had an instant attraction. I may have been wrong about people not being able to love in this book. Even if they don't fall in love, I think it would be good for Lenina to get to know John. The relationship could benefit both of them. I hope Lenina will be able to break out of her current life style.
