My picture of the total solar eclipse in 2024.
Katherina: I know it is the 🌖.
Petruchio: Nay, then you lie; it is the blessed ☀️.
K: Then, God be bless'd, it is the blessed ☀️; But ☀️ it is not, when you say it is not; And the 🌖 changes even as your mind...

And therefore is the glorious planet Sol
In noble eminence enthroned and sphered
Amidst the other, whose med’cinable eye
Corrects the influence of evil planets..

Photo of blue sky with a lone seagull flying before dark clouds that obscure the sun. Calm water and silhouetted trees at the horizon.
Oh, how this spring of love resembleth,
The uncertain glory of an April day,
Which now shows all beauty of the Sun,
And by and by a cloud takes all away.
Two Gentlemen of Verona

“Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck,
And yet methinks I have astronomy.
But not to tell of good or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or season’s quality;
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell,
Or say with princes if it shall go well.”
-Sonnet 14

Bottom “A calendar, a calendar look in the almanac, find out moonshine, find out moonshine,”

"Four days will quickly steep themselves in night.
Four nights will quickly dream away the time.
And then the moon, like to a silver bow
New bent in heaven, shall behold the night
Of our solemnities."
A Midsummer Night's Dream

"The heavens themselves, the planets, and this center
Observe degree, priority, and place"

"..this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave
o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof, fretted
with golden fire—why, it appeareth nothing to me
but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors."

On the 476th birthday of Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, it bears restating that save where he collaborated with others, the plays of Shakespeare were written by the Stratford glover’s son & grammar-school alumnus of that name. Alternative theories mix snobbery with weak reasoning #ShakespeareSunday

"His face was as the heavens, and therein stuck
A sun and moon, which kept their course and lighted
The little O, the Earth ...
... His legs bestrid the ocean; his reared arm
Crested the world ...."

“O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy...”
