Sweet Midsummer Night's Dreams to All!

I've got this turned around... backwards.
My first post was meant to be Dawn
Wishes for a wondrous and happy
Summer Solstice

And I just pinned down today,
As I always get confused,
Thinking that Midsummer is actually in
The middle of the season known as Summer,

But NO - it is equal to the Solstice in every way,
In every resource I can find...
Thus the trailer.
I love Shakespeare, do you?

Man, talk about a guy with influence.

Even the comedies... :)
Considered by Aristotle to be the least
Like reality from the 4 classical genres
Laughter is the best medicine, though...
As many would agree.
How can that be explained and reconciled,
And just what is Real, anyway?

Aristotle of all people, a student of Plato
Knew there was real and Real.
I certainly hope he had a layered experience in life
Wielding as much influence as he did,
For among his students was Alexander the Great..
Which begs the question not only of what is real,
But what is great?

As above, So below
Longest day of light
Shortest day of ... merlot? snow? below?
My kingdom for a rhyme
At times.

I too love Shakespeare. To hear his verse recited in theater engages me like a powerful symphony or the soothing voice of charming, beautiful woman.

Some verse from a Midsummer Night's Dream reminds me of someone we both know.. :)

Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be:
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours:
I must go seek some dewdrops here
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits; I'll be gone:
Our queen and all our elves come here anon.

Ah yes, the fair and mighty continuum, captured in pen strokes on parchment or paper, speaking down the ages from one charmed being to another. Yes, I see her there... in all her glory - Primula and Tatiana, leadis in one go... Thanks, ye who wander here, PM, with similar loves of the bard. :)
