Love’s Wound




“Yet mark’d I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with love’s wound,
And maidens call it love-in-idleness.”

William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

John Dowland (1563-1626), I Saw My Lady Weep, Emma Kirkby, soprano, Anthony Rooley, lute
