Color of the day: Black Incense of the day: Ivy In one of the subplots of The Merchant of Venice, Jessica (Shylock's daughter) elopes with Lorenzo. It's true love. In act 5, they are sitting together and gazing up at the sky. Lorenzo's speech is one of Shakespeare's most evocative: Set your intention to reach that level of poetic love. Choose a moonlit night, sit somewhere romantic and beautiful with the one you love, and gaze up at the sky. Play romantic music. Recite Lorenzo's speech. Draw poetry, music, and love down from heaven. |
