Juliet


(The Singing Butler by Jack Vettriano, Scottish
painter, born 1951)

When one is smitten, the center of the universe shifts.

JULIET

How did the party go in Portman Square?
I cannot tell you; Juliet was not there.

And how did Lady Gaster’s party go?
Juliet was next to me and I do not know.

~ Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953), French-born poet, essayist and historian, who became a naturalized British citizen and even served as a Member of Parliament for five years
