An April Day

“O, how this spring of love resembleth
The uncertain glory of an April day,
Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,
And by and by a cloud takes all away!”


William Shakespeare
The Two Gentlemen of Verona (I, iii, 84 - 87)

Not just any April day
but Shakespeare's Birthday & Death Day
April 23, 1564 - April 23, 1616

Ariel: "On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily"

One of my favorite days to celebrate!
This year, my friend Igor
made sure that I didn't let the day go by
without observation! Thanks Igor!
