Shifting Perspectives

By notout97

A rose by any other name...

...would still be a rose.

Yes, it's the reappearance of Monday's rose, this time with a bit of bokeh.

I was somewhat stuck for a photo today. It was a beautiful day today, the sun shone, the light was great...but I was reading...

The correct quotation comes, of course, from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet:

JULIET:
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
