Methinks Oberon to Puck or Titania to fairies, but my marbles bag has sprung a leak this morning and I'm not longer certain of that which once I knew by heart. j
“Since once I sat upon a promontory/ & heard a mermaid on a dolphin’s back/ Uttering such dulcet & harmonious breath/ That the rude sea grew civil at her song” #MidsummerNightsDream for #MelvilleMonday 🌊🧜🏼♀️🐬🫶🏻

"..i' the receiving earth, to coin a phrase. I don't think we actually do talk of horsies, do we? This song isn't about horsies, it's about buses..."
The inimitable Michael Flanders, introducing A Transport of Delight, and ensuring I knew those lines before I ever read Henry V.
“Think when we talk of horses, that you see them/ Printing their proud hoofs i’ the receiving earth”🐎 #Shakespeare’s Chorus #HenryV

#AlbertPinkhamRyder c1901 & right, by #MarcCuypers @marccuypers2 1999 In honour of #DDay #PegasusBridge x.com/militaryhistor…
Victoria Grainger’s post commemorates the 81st anniversary of D-Day (June 6, 1944) by linking Shakespeare’s "Henry V" quote about the Dauphin’s fiery Pegasus to the historical Pegasus Bridge, captured by British airborne forces during the Normandy invasion to secure a critical crossing over the Caen Canal.
The post features two artworks: Albert Pinkham Ryder’s 1901 "Pegasus," a hazy depiction of the mythological horse with figures possibly representing Athena and the Muses, and Marc Cuypers’ 1999 abstract piece, both symbolizing freedom and ascent, echoing the liberation theme of D-Day.
Grainger quotes Dr. Peter Caddick-Adams’ post about the 1944 Pegasus Bridge operation, where gliders like those in the referenced images delivered troops; the bridge was renamed for the Airborne Division’s insignia, honoring their role in the first hours of the invasion....

Delighted to share my poem about a Black actress in the 18th century who played Juliet. The poem's written in solidarity with the actress Francesca Amewudah-Rivers who's faced such online abuse. RTs appreciated.
