EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the hallowed resting place of William Shakespeare, the renowned English poet and playwright, in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon. Born in 1564, Shakespeare's works have left an indelible mark on the world of literature, shaping the very fabric of our language and cultural heritage. His life spanned from the late 16th to the early 17th century, a time of great change and upheaval in England. The Church of the Holy Trinity, where Shakespeare's tomb now stands, has been an integral part of Stratford-upon-Avon's history since the 13th century. Shakespeare, a devout man, was baptized and married here, and it was only fitting that he would be laid to rest within its hallowed walls. The tomb, adorned with intricate carvings and statues, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this literary giant. The inscription on the tomb reads, "Good friend for Jesus' sake forbear, To dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed be the man that spares these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones." The image also features a bust of Shakespeare, which is believed to be a later addition to the tomb. The bust, with its serene expression and thoughtful gaze, serves as a poignant reminder of the genius and talent that once resided within the man. This photograph, taken by the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of Shakespeare and the Church of the Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon. It is a reminder of the power of the written word and the enduring impact that one man's creativity and vision can have on the world.
