Birth of Venus - Botticelli

At Troynovant we are more interested in excellent or distinctive work than the merely timely or fashionable. Quality is always in season, and often more topical and entertaining than currency or fashion admit. Thus, we aim to refer and amuse, rather than to announce and forget. We avoid spoiling surprises in reviews that recommend; other works take their chances.

[Troy.]

Alexander (Cressida's servant):

The noise goes this: there is among the Greeks
A lord of Trojan blood, nephew to Hector;
They call him Ajax.

Cressida:

                            Good, and what of him? ...

Alexander:

This man, lady, hath robbed many beasts of their particular additions: he is as valiant as the lion, churlish as the bear, slow as the elephant — a man into whom nature hath so crowded humours that his valour is crushed into folly, his folly farced with discretion. There is no man hath a virtue that he hath not a glimpse of, nor any man an attaint but he carries some stain of it. ...

William Shakespeare
Troilus and Cressida, 1.2.12-23
