Friends of Ophelia's Muse
"Ophelia" by Arthur Hughes (1832-1915)
...
"There is a willow grows aslant the brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;
There with fantastic garlands did she come.
Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples.
There on the pendant boughs her coronet weeds
Clambering to hang an envious sliver broke.
When down the weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook."
~ William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
