Some professors celebrate Shakespeare's birthday by bringing cake or other treats to their early modern classes; I had the pleasure of bringing both Gillian Knoll and Joseph Gamble (virtually) to mine today for a brilliant discussion on their work in kink studies! #HappyBirthdayShakespeare
A bust portrait in red and black chalk of Ellen Terry (1847-1928) is, according to the text on the Karen Taylor webpage, “portrayed against a background of blossom. Her hair is pinned behind and she wears a blouse with a frilled collar and a knotted scarf. The background, costume and pose bear a strong resemblance to other portraits of Terry as Ophelia.”
Portrait of Ellen Terry as #Ophelia, C19th, by #KateGardinerHastings (nee Carr; British, 1837–1928). Held by Karen Taylor Fine Art, karentaylorfineart.com/kate-gardine... #artherstory #womenartists #HappyBirthdayShakespeare

It is my birth-day:
I had thought to have held it poor: but, since my lord
Is Antony again, I will be Cleopatra.

To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I eyed,
Such seems your beauty still.

HENSLOWE: It was no Titus Andronicus. But it had done decently at Newington Butts.
HEMINGES: We thought Shakespeare might spruce it up.
SHAKESPEARE: I thought it was a bad idea. Revenge tragedies were like so 1580s.
