The Summer Night's Dream or The Dream on a Summer's Night is a 1939 oil on canvas painting by Marc Chagall, showing a young woman in a wedding dress and a man with a goat's head. It is in the Museum of Grenoble, to which it was given by the artist in 1951. He also donated a 1935 version of the same work in varnished paint and gouache on hardboard to the same museum in 1953. The title may refer to William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, though in that play a man is transformed into an ass not a goat.
“Hippolyta, I woo’d thee with my sword, And won thy love, doing thee injuries.”
“We will meet; and there we may rehearse most obscenely and courageously.”
“Bless thee, Bottom! bless thee! thou art translated.”
“I have a reasonable good ear in music. Let’s have the tongs and the bones.”
“And, most dear actors, eat no onions nor garlic, for we are to utter sweet breath.”
“And we fairies, that do run ... Following darkness like a dream, Now are frolic: not a mouse Shall disturb this hallow’d house: I am sent with broom before, To sweep the dust behind the door.”
