WILLOW
8th November 2023
My mother had a maid called Barbary.
She was in love, and he she loved proved mad
And did forsake her. She had a song of willow,
An old thing ‘twas, but it expressed her fortune,
And she died singing it. That song tonight
Will not go from my mind.
DESDEMONA: Othello, Act 4, Scene 3
