I love everybody in this bar

So you know I've been going on a bit about Paul McGann as Nightingale. And then I wrote a Wimsey/RoL crossover. And in the course of doing so, I spent a fair bit of time reading classic poetry about nightingales, because you know Wimsey would go there, and there's an awful lot to choose from because every poet in the world has written something about nightingales. And along the way I came across a quote that I was very sad not to be able to find a spot for in the story: Thou wast not born for death, immortal bird (Keats, Ode to a Nightingale). And I mentioned this quote in the comments on the fic. And some wonderful person came across this and made this photoset (not sure what the etiquette is about reproducing it here, so I'll just link you to the original).

I can't stop staring at it, it's so perfect. Like I say, I love everybody in this bar today :-D ♥
