You
are come to see my daughter Anne?
-Mistress Page
The Merry Wives Of Windsor Act II, Scene i,
Line 157
Well, what should we do with this line? There’s nothing
difficult in the language, that’s for sure. On the other hand, it’s not anything really
interesting either. It’s just Mistress Page asking someone, apparently Mistress
Quickly, if she’s come to see her daughter. But the problem is we really don’t
know much of anything about this play other than the fact that it was written
as a vehicle for one of Shakespeare’s most popular characters from another
play. But as long as we don't care too much, for now, that is all we know about this, and all we need to know.
Okay, so what is the possible relevance of this picture? I think I'll give you a chance to figure it out on your own. I'll tell you tomorrow.

It is a Greek stamp, but the play does not take place in Greece.
