Manuscript depiction of Henry VI

Cover for the New Oxford Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part II. General editor Emma Smith. Text edited by Rory Loughnane. Introduction by Kavita Mudan Finn. Image on the right is a composite of a red heraldic rose, a stylized version of the official royal portrait of King Henry VI of England, a man wielding a sword on a rearing horse with a white rose in the background, and a man and a woman appearing to practice witchcraft.
I doubt it will feel real until I'm holding it, but this is for my teenaged self, who used these editions in high school and would never have dreamed she'd write the introduction to one. #Shakespeare #HenryVI
Then, since the heavens have shaped my body so,
Let hell make crook’d my mind to answer it.
I have no brother, I am like no brother;
And this word “love,” which graybeards call divine,
Be resident in men like one another
And not in me. I am myself alone.

An unusual "saint" today for #SaintsonSaturday in the form of this painting of King #HenryVI at #Widdecombe Church on #Dartmoor in #Devon
Although the pope was petitioned to make Henry a saint, he was never formally confirmed as one. Yet here he is on a panel among other saints.

"Faith, I have been a truant in the law,
And never yet could frame my will to it,
And therefore frame the law unto my will."
(Henry VI, Part 1, Act 2 Scene 4)
# I obviously chose this play "by chance". 😇
