Dressing Shakespeare

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

Nolan’s vision of the world is not quite big enough to include either real gods or real people who might be different from us.

Selected Works from Caravaggio

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, most often known today as simply Caravaggio, was an Italian painter in the late Renaissance era. He was known in his time for how realistically he depicted people — physically and emotionally — especially compared to his dramatic use of light. While the figures are incredibly realistic, the lighting is so extreme it's almost akin to stage lighting today. His work, especially that dramatic lighting, inspired the Baroque style of painting. He depicted women and men in his work, though more so the latter. This, and the eroticism of some of his works, is one of the reasons scholars have debated his sexuality. There were rumors and scholarly discussions of his personal life — he never married or had children, and there is evidence to suggest he slept with men and women. He lived a relatively short life, but his legacy is evident in Baroque paintings and the work they inspired today.
