ROMEO & JULIET
II.ii
With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do that dares love attempt

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite. - Romeo & Juliet (A2, S2) #ShakespeareSunday

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Born on this day in 1591, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, better known as Guercino. Painted dogs. And himself with dogs. Here he's painting one in an allegory of faithful love (nice!) in 1655.
