Maar lieve hemel, ik ben dol op haar.
Ze is uniek, al lijkt ze nergens naar.

"Full fathom five thy father lies.
Of his bones are coral made.
Those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea change
Into something rich and strange."
- William Shakespeare, "The Tempest" (Act 1, Scene 2)
Stephen Frears – „The Lost King“ (2022)
Hier geht es um Wahrheit, Obsession und die Wiedergewinnung weiblicher Deutungshoheit – und letztlich ist es auch ein Lehrstück über das, was verloren geht, wenn sich ein erfahrener Regisseur zu sehr auf das Kunsthandwerk verlässt und zu wenig auf das politische Jetzt. Dabei hätte dieser Film das Potenzial gehabt, ein feministisches Manifest zu sein.

"Cherish" is a song by American singer #Madonna from her fourth studio album, #LikeAPrayer (1989). It was written and produced by Madonna and #PatrickLeonard, and was released by #SireRecords as the album's third single on August 1, 1989. "Cherish" was built around the themes of love and relationships, with #WilliamShakespeare's #RomeoAndJuliet being one of the major inspirations. The track also included a line from "Cherish" by the 1960s band #theAssociation.

Useless quote for 28 July:
"The sun ariseth in his majesty;
Who doth the world so gloriously behold,
That cedar tops and hills seem burnish’d gold."
~ William Shakespeare, "Venus and Adonis" lines 856-858 (1593)
ANTONIO: We all were sea-swallowed, though some cast again,
And by that destiny to perform an act
Whereof what’s past is prologue, what to come
In yours and my discharge.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 2, sc. 1, l. 287ff (2.1.287-290) (1611)

ARIEL: Full fathom five thy father lies.
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell.
Ding dong.
Hark, now I hear them — ding dong, bell.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 1, sc. 2, l. 474ff (1.2.474-482) (1611)

"Oh well done. I commend your pains,
And every one shall share i' the gains.
And now about the cauldron sing,
Like elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in."

"By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes."
- William Shakespeare, "Macbeth" (Act 4, Scene 1)
Give sorrow words. The grief that does not speak whispers the o'erfraught heart and bids it break.
-- William Shakespeare (Macbeth)
