|  | | She Never Told Her Love Chalked graffiti on a wall, High Street, Exeter I've found this is a reference from Twelfth Night, where Viola first speaks of her love to Orsino. It's also a piece of music by Haydn, and a portrait by Victorian photographer Henry Peach Robinson (as well as a curious .com of a silhouetted woman with moving hair, by a Greek artist named Angelo Plessas). Shakespeare as graffiti inspiration? I thought Liverpool was City of Culture 2008.

| Viola
My father had a daughter lov'd a man,
As it might be perhaps, were I a woman,
I should your lordship. Orsino
And what's her history? Viola
A blank, my lord: she never told her love,
But let concealment like a worm i' th' bud
Feed on her damask cheek: she pin'd in thought,
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like Patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed? | |
