Making it momentary as a sound,
Swift as a shadow,
short as any dream,
Brief as the lightning in the collied night;
A Midsummers Night's Dream
Or
The Love Life of Spurt Hammond

The fairy land buys not the child of me.
His mother was a votaress of my order:
And, in the spiced Indian air, by night,
Full often hath she gossip'd by my side.
MND Act II Scene 1

'The armour that I saw in your tent to-night, are those stars or suns upon it?
Stars my lord.
Some of them will fall to-morrow, I hope.'

I have bedimm’d
The noontide sun, call’d forth the mutinous winds,
And ‘twixt the green sea and the azured vault
Set roaring war—The Tempest #ShakespeareSunday
Rough Sea at Etretat by Claude Monet #art via @dailyartapp #art
I am thy father's spirit,
Doom'd for a certain time to walk the night,
And, for the day, confin'd to fast in fires,
Till the foul crimes, done in my days of nature,
Are burnt and purg'd away.

For #ShakespeareSunday Arthur Rackham's illustrations for "The Tempest," which he illustrated in 1926.
Romeo: I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio: & so did I.
Romeo: Well, what was yours?
Mercutio: That dreamers often lie.
Romeo: In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio: Oh, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you. She is the fairies’ midwife… #ShakespeareSunday

"Go, write it in a martial hand. Be curst and brief. It is no matter how witty, so it be eloquent and full of invention .....
..... Let there be gall enough in thy ink, though thou write with a goose-pen, no matter."

"I give this heavy weight from off my head
And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,
The pride of kingly sway from out my heart;
With mine own tears I wash away my balm,
With mine own hands I give away my crown" - Richard II #ShakespeareSunday
