The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Act I Scene: 2

Soothsayer. Caesar! Caesar. Ha! who calls? Casca. Bid every noise be still: peace yet again! Caesar. Who is it in the press that calls on me?  I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music, Cry ‘Caesar!’ Speak; Caesar is turn’d to hear. Soothsayer. Beware the ides of March. Caesar. What man is that? Brutus. A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March. Caesar. Set him before me; let me see his face. Cassius. Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar. Caesar. What say'st thou to me now? speak once again. Soothsayer. Beware the ides of March. Caesar. He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.

( Sculpture: Andrea di Pietro di Marco Ferrucci c. 1512-1514, Julius Caesar)

IN THIS HOUSE WE celebrate black women sculptors because Dark Academia has a slight Michelangelo fetish and sometimes it’s good to mix things up.
