Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art — Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like Nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite, The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores, Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors — No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable, Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast, To feel for ever its soft swell and fall, Awake for ever in a sweet unrest, Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, And so live ever — or else swoon to death.

John Keats, whose name was writ in water (1795-1821)

Muckross House, Ireland (by shawn lenker)

there are 3 ½ spaces in shakespeare: the private, domestic world in the center of the house (juliet’s bedroom, gertrude’s closet); the formal world of ceremony at the front of the house; the liminal facade or boundary outside the house (juliet’s balcony etc); and the outside world of reversals and magic, which is either the woods (as you like it) or a city street at night (merchant). sh uses the facade with two doors at the back of the stage to suggest another world beyond that onstage; for example, the conversation btwn macduff and the macbeths that takes place just outside the room where duncan has been murdered, or the scene in hamlet when the people are clamoring at the doors, about to burst in and murder the king at any moment. the space beyond the doors can represent the outside or inside, and the scene can change instantaneously based on the groupings of actors or a line that informs the audience of the setting.
