Four days will quickly steep themselves in night; Four nights will quickly dream away the time; And then the moon, like to a silver bow New-bent in heaven, shall behold the night Of our solemnities. #Shakespeare #ShakespeareSunday #aMidsummerNightsDream #nighttime #JiriTrnka #FilmSky

Who dares not stir by day must walk by night. #Shakespeare #ShakespeareSunday #KingJohn #nighttime #Halloween 🎃 #Dracula #OctoberSky

Ghosts, wandering here and there, Troop home to churchyards: damned spirits all, ... They willfully themselves exile from light And must, for aye, consort with black-brow’d night. #Shakespeare #ShakespeareSunday #aMidsummerNightsDream #nighttime #TheSkeletonDance #Halloween 🎃 #OctoberSky
