The Key to the North

Chapter 46: Epilogue

"Lord Tywin called you dangerous. He was correct, I think…" Another growl made her shiver. "I am mayhaps still a naïve fool? Yet I know that I am safe, when I place my trust, my all, in your hands. I know what my heart says, what your written words told me. Even though your tongue still baulks from speaking such to me…"

"I am not that man! You know I find such words difficult! You know that I cannot—"

Stars, hide your fires;

Let not light see my black and deep desires.

The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be

Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.

—Act 1, Scene 4, Macbeth, William Shakespeare

Another screenprint of mine, a homage to the best play I had the privilege to see in person, "Dr Semmelweis" 💖

Sir Mark is also the proud owner of this one specimen! I only had two of those as I have to draw the white highlights separately. Otherwise it's fully screenprinted on thick and sturdy kraft paper!

O villain, villain, smiling, damnèd villain!

My tables!—Meet it is I set it down

That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain.

Rafe shrugs. ‘He is frightened of you, sir. You have outgrown him. You have gone beyond what any servant or subject should be.’ It is the cardinal over again, he thinks. Wolsey was broken not for his failures, but for his successes; not for any error, but for grievances stored up, about how great he had become.

I have neither the scholar’s melancholy, which is emulation; nor the musician’s, which is fantastical; nor the courtier’s, which is proud; nor the soldier’s, which is ambitious; nor the lawyer’s, which is politic; nor the lady’s, which is nice; nor the lover’s, which is all these, but it is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects,

and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, in which my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous sadness.

—As You Like It Translation Act 4, Scene 1 , William Shakespeare

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools.

The way to dusty deaths. Out, out, brief candle

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

—Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5), William Shakespeare

William smiles in different fonts. One may be bigger than the other, one may be more devious than the other, one may be more threatening than the other. But they're all smiles, chameleon smiles. The same, but different... 🥺🤭
