Venus and Adonis
by William Shakespeare from 1593
About
The goddess Venus passionately pursues the beautiful but indifferent young Adonis, pleading for his love while he is intent only on hunting. When a boar kills Adonis on the hunt, the grief-stricken Venus transforms him into an anemone flower and retreats from the world, cursing love to be forever painful.
