I  like the deadpan of Kafka's Metamorphosis

'As Gregor Samsa awoke one  morning from uneasy dreams he found himself 
transformed in his bed into a  gigantic insect.'

 
I always liked this  opening:

 
"If music be the food of  love, play on,
Give me excess of it,  that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken,  and so die."

 
Orsino, _Twelfth  Night_
