Love the shirt!
That's a wand? Quite wonderful!
A Riverside Shakespeare? Are you near the Charles River?
"Sweet Swan of Avon: did a woman write Shakespeare?" -- oh, very sweet, indeed! Bravo!

Thank you! The purple shirt reflects the hefty
responsibility that comes with owning one’s exalted heritage. When one's ancestors are of royal
and/or magical origin, some rather profound questions
and challenges suggest themselves. To what crown(ing
glory) is one the natural successor?
To what dignities? What
traditions are one's responsibility to keep alive? What untapped powers?
If one's
Weltanschauung does not account for an Otherworld, how can one
reconcile one's nymph-glands? ;-)
The Riverside Shakespeare was my favorite text from graduate school. (It's the book I referenced while composing
this rarefied research.) I'm not near the Charles River, though I understand it's quite lovely.
