EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare, the renowned poet and playwright, immortalized in stone. The photograph features a close-up view of Shakespeare's monument, located in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey in London. The monument, erected in 1623, is a testament to the enduring impact of Shakespeare's works on literature and culture. At the center of the monument, a life-size marble bust of Shakespeare gazes introspectively, holding a quill pen in his right hand and a scroll in his left. The inscription at the base of the monument reads, "Good friend for Jesus' sake forbear, To dig the grave where nothing stays, Look here, my dearest friend, and smile, For this, and all such weakness is but nature's vein, Gilding the evil with Oblivion, To make the roughest thing look smooth and fair: And this whole lump of de'ath's body, Being o'er-weigh'd with his own wickedness, Like a willing patient, trembles and prevails, Agreeing to a kind oblivion, And willingly transfers his body to the ground; His virtues henceforth live with his friends, His foul body and corrupted blood, The living and the dead, shall join in mutual rest, And sleep in that sleep which hath no waking." The image also includes a skull, symbolizing the transience of life and the inevitability of death. The monument, with its intricate carvings and historical significance, stands as a reminder of Shakespeare's profound influence on the world of literature and the enduring power of art to capture the human experience. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and died in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1616. His works, including plays such as "Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet," and "Macbeth," continue to be performed and studied around the world, making him one of the most celebrated figures in English literature.
