The Merchant of Venice--->Pictures

Anthony De Fonte as Shylock in the Utah Shakespearean Festival's 2000 production of The Merchant of Venice.

Here is a painting of Jessica and Lorenzo in Act 5 Scene 1. BELMONT: A GROVE OR GREEN PLACE BEFORE PORTIA'S. HOUSE. JESSICA AND LORENZO. LORENZO: HOW sweet the moon-light sleeps upon this bank! Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night, Become the touches of sweet harmony.' Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold. There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings, Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins: Such harmony is in immortal souls; But whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
