Allegory in Stone (1)

Created on: 2024-10-18
The influence of the occult on Shakespeare's imagination is a fascinating subject. The monument erected to his memory at Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon, is invaluable to solving many aspects of that riddle.

The monument allegorises the opposing forces of dissolution and transmutation. Why else should “envious death” covet the Poet's "quick nature"? In a discussion of Masonic, Rosicrucian, Kabbalistic and other occult themes, many of the greatest secrets of the Stratford monument are fully revealed.
