Willows & Violets
Shakespeare Nature Blogs. Willows and Violets: Sorrow & Hope. Willows always signify trouble in Shakespeare, sorrow or rejection. Violets are generally positive and hopefully. This blog explores the background to these cultural identities of willow and violet.
To celebrate the 400 years since the publication of the first folio I am aiming to publish a weekly nature blog and to post a daily species quote until November 2024.
