[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 4868543, member: 74968"]One of my favourite sonnets from the Dark lady sonnets. CXXVII In the old age black was not counted fair, Or if it were, it bore not beauty's name; But now is black beauty's successive heir, And beauty slandered with a bastard shame: For since each hand hath put on Nature's power, Fairing the foul with Art's false borrowed face, Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower, But is profaned, if not lives in disgrace. Therefore my mistress' eyes are raven black, Her eyes so suited, and they mourners seem At such who, not born fair, no beauty lack, Sland'ring creation with a false esteem: Yet so they mourn becoming of their woe, That every tongue says beauty should look so. Henry V [ATTACH=full]1175643[/ATTACH] Cuniobelius (known as Cymbelline by Shakespeare) Featuring a very cool Centaur [ATTACH=full]1175644[/ATTACH] For those interested in the coins referred to by Shakespeare himself, this book is a must. It was written by a collector and it so happens I own 1 coin from his collection. [ATTACH=full]1175645[/ATTACH] My coin from his collection [ATTACH=full]1175646[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
