"Though Shakespeare bids his last sonnet, his presence is ignited by these pieces, and hither I am-With his words, roots, and blood, we represent greatness." ━━━━━ As Shakespeare visited our dreams, a synopsis of the journey began to sprout, from a seedling of a single drop of ink to a beanstalk of masterpieces, each leaf containing great works and masteries that each of the writers enjoyed, put effort into, and gave their all to write. Shakespeare enlightened us and told us to write more; he even told us and compared two of his most phenomenal characters, Romeo and Juliet, who both died at the end of their romantic story. This set is an agglomeration and collection of works inspired by the style and topics of how Shakespeare wrote his poems, which are: what it means to be a man; conflict; corruption; transformation; order and disorder; loyalty; appearance and reality; guilt; sin; and retribution. A set of poems written in Shakespearean English typography, also known as Elizabethan English, a set of realization and brilliance.
