She never told her love
Alfred Joseph WOOLMER
(Artist)
This image was inspired by Viola’s speech in Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night. “[…] she pined in thought, And with a green and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief.”, (Act II: Scene IV) Woolmer often referred to literary subjects by great writers such as Byron, Milton and Tennyson, which appealed to romantic and gothic tastes.
