* | Marianas in moated granges “Mariana in the moated grange” — Measure for Measure: not a verbatim quotation from Shakespeare, but the reference given at the head of Alfred Tennyson’s poem “Mariana” (Poems, Chiefly Lyrical, 1830), which describes the despondency of a woman abandoned by her lover. Cf. also the picture by John Everett Millais known by the same title. (Both the poem and the painting are available online.) |
