Something I didn’t know about Shakespeare

When talking about romantic literature our first thoughts often go to William Shakespeare.

One of his most famous sonnet is 116, where he tries to describe what love is and what it is not. For example,

Love “is an ever-fixed mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark.”

What a very romantic description!

Something I didn’t know about Shakespeare is that he was not only a poet and a playwright, he was also an actor!

Anyway, since life is not just about drama, do you know why Shakespeare used to write only in ink?

Because pencils would confuse him:

2B or not 2B?

🙂

B is my latest upload, it’s part of my collection of Love alphabet, make sure you check in often to see the other letters as well!

I write poems (exclusively in Italian). What I love in working with colours is that it's a direct language with no barriers. And I like how it brings me into my dreamworld.
I'm fond in particular of nature, because in its beauty there is love and hope.

I started a new series of artworks Weird but True, because many times nature can be quite bizarre! And the first one, Nature's palette, is already uploaded, you can see it in my website https://lucia-waterson.pixels.com/

I also started a new series of artworks, in which I select news from all over the world and I recount them to you through my eyes and my (he)art. We can take this ongoing journey together if you keep visiting. The first artwork is already uploaded, it's called Touching the sky.

Thank you very much! Lucia Waterson
