Lovers all over the World recognize what is commonly known as "The Balcony Scene" from Romeo and Juliet. This exquisite design for the crewel embroidery enthusiast employs a beautiful variety of crewel wools, silk ribbons, cottons and metallic elements, resulting in a dimensional Theatre Poster style design you’ll be proud to display for a lifetime. William Shakespeare’s words are beautifully brought to life in a freestyle surface embroidery reproduction of Frank Dicksee’s (RA) Victorian artwork.*Aside note* the vining leaves of the rose bush hide the fact that this was from Act II Scene II ( not Scene I)
Juliet:
’Tis almost morning, I would have thee gone—
And yet no farther than a wan-ton’s bird,
That lets it hop a little from his hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
And with a silken thread plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of his liberty.
Romeo:
I would I were thy bird.
Juliet:
Sweet, so would I,
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Romeo And Juliet Act II, Scene II
