“With Mirth And Laughter Let Old Wrinkles Come” 17 x 18 x 10

Inspired by William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice Act 1 Scene 1 between Antonio and Gratiano
ANTONIO: I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano, A stage where every man must play a part, And mine a sad one.
GRATIANO: Let me play the fool. With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. And let my liver rather heat with wine Than my heart cool with mortifying groans. Why should a man whose blood is warm within Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster.
