Fitting quote for this photo.
I was going back to my Vision & Verb days, pairing the image and words.
I am glad that you think the pairing worked
I hope Cupid is not colour blind.
Now is it purple or pink?
Answer: It’s “purink”! or “pinple”. Ha ha
Or even cherrypie
Can’t quite get what Shakespeare was getting at, but I do love your photo
The quote is about metaphors:
“The first metaphor “flower of this purple dye, hit with Cupid’s archery” is comparing the purple flower to Cupid’s bow. By saying this, Oberon is saying that the flower can “hit” the same way a bow of cupid can. The second metaphor of this line is “sink in apple of his eye”. The metaphor is referring the “apple” of Demetrius’ eyes, comparing it to his passions and desires.”
