What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?

What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?

“Bottom” 

 

“What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?”

Act 3, Scene 1, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

 

The uncouth mechanic Bottom is “translated” with a donkey’s head by the mischievous fairy Puck. The fairy queen Titania, who is under the influence of a spell, falls in love with him. 

This painting is a tribute to the maddening spell of love. Donkey-head may seem like an angel from heaven if you are in love.
