Make me a willow cabin...

Fisherman's Cottage, Harald Sohlberg 1907

William Shakespeare (1564-1616),

from Twelfth Night, Act I, Scene V.

Make me a willow cabin at your gate,

And call upon my soul within the house;

Write loyal cantons of contemned love

And sing them loud even in the dead of night;

Halloo your name to the reverberate hills

And make the babbling gossip of the air

Cry out 'Olivia!' O, You should not rest

Between the elements of air and earth,

But you should pity me!
