Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare
Doomed Love--Mark Antony has given himself over to the love of Cleopatra ignoring his responsibilities to Rome. In his absence the city has suffered and petty squabbles have led to war. Despite wanting to stay by Cleopatra's side Antony must return to Rome even though it spells disaster for all involved.The barge she sat in like a burnished throne Burned on the water; the poop was beaten gold;Purple the sails and so perfumed thatThe winds were love-sick with them; the oars were silver Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke and madeThe water which they beat to follow faster As amorous of their strokes. For her own person It beggared all description.At the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, Peter Holland is the McMeel Family Professor of Shakespeare Studies. He was President of the Shakespeare Association of America (2007-8) and Director of the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon (1997-2002).
