Quote+II

Matthew Hurst “Can I go forward when my heart is here? Turn back, dull earth, and find thy center out.” Romeo is asking how he can move forward while his heart is in one place. He is referring to the center as Juliet. He says find thy center out, meaning Juliet is his soul and the dull earth is Romeo. He is expressing his love for Juliet by saying she is his soul and his only love. Without the center there would be no crust. So without his Juliet there would be no reason for Romeo to live.
