salad days. Cleopatra, kidded by Charmian about her old love for Julius Caesar, joked that those were her salad days when she was “green in judgement, cold in blood.” In other words she loved Caesar unskillfully and without much passion compared to the way she loved Mark Antony. Thus our expres- sion for naive and inexperienced youth comes to us from Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra. The real Cleopatra was actually a flaming youth, a trained and artful lover before her adolescence, and the salad days that Shakespeare has her ad- mit to were distant memories long before she married her brother at 17.
