A quotation from Shakespeare

HELENA: Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
   Love can transpose to form and dignity.
   Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind;
   And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
   Nor hath Love’s mind of any judgment taste.
   Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste.
   And therefore is Love said to be a child
   Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, sc. 1, ll. 238ff (1.1.238-245) (1605)

Sonnet a Day 18h ago

Sonnet 073 - LXXIII
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed, whereon it must expire,
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

🏘️ El lugar de nacimiento de Shakespeare se cree que fue una casa con entramado de madera del siglo XVI situada en Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, Inglaterra. En dicha casa, ahora restaurada, se supone que William Shakespeare nació en 1564 y pasó sus años de infancia. (Nota: esta fotografía se tomó en 1979 en un soporte analógico, se han realizado en ella diferentes operaciones de edición y restauración).
