"What a long night is this! I will not change my
Horse with any that treads but on four pasterns....
When I bestride him, I
Soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth
Sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his
Hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes."
- William Shakespeare, "Henry V" (Act 3, Scene 7)

LOOK, THE WORLD'S COMFORTER, WITH WEARY
GAIT,

HIS DAY'S HOT TASK HATH ENDED IN THE WEST:
THE OWL, NIGHT'S HERALD, SHRIEKS-'TIS VERY
LATE;

THE SHEEP ARE GONE TO FOLD, BIRDS TO THEIR
NEST;

AND COAL-BLACK CLOUDS, THAT SHADOW
HEAVEN'S LIGHT,

DO SUMMON US TO PART, AND BID GOOD NIGHT.

Stillness

That beauty am I bless'd with which you see."

If this had been a gorgeous sunny day, the reflections wouldn't have been so lovely, or so interesting.

With my back to Dynjandi, I'm looking out across Dynjandisvogur inlet and then Arnarfjörður fjord.

A colour photo of a fjord with mountains on either side. The foreground is the water's edge, a rocky outcrop with autumnal grasses over it. The water is ruffled by a breeze, but is reflecting the mountains. There are a few birds on the surface on the right. The peaks level out at the mouth of the fjord, coming down to meet the water. The sky is grey and overcast but with a few thinner patches, so that clear sky can almost be seen.

It was the lark, the herald of the morn, No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east - Romeo and Juliet (III, 5) #ShakespeareSunday

The visage of Benjamin Sisko appears in the clouds over San Francisco. Star Trek Starfleet Academy.

All the world's a stage, right? So here are all the plays of #Shakespeare painted as a schematic #map to show approximately the place where Will set them. As I too was born and bred in #StratforduponAvon, this painting is my love letter from a Stratford girl to a Stratford boy.

Which Shakespeare did you "do" at school? I did Midsummer Night's Dream, but my fave play is King Lear. Oooh, such violence and pathos! It's like a Nordic Noir TV drama.

Welcome, brave captain and victorious lord! When I was young, as yet I am not old, I do remember how my father said A stouter champion never handled sword. - Henry VI, Part I (III, 4) #ShakespeareSunday
