I Read Shakespear Sonnets

Sonnet 116....William Shakespeare

A timeless classic...


Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

@faith2hope4love Here's my favorite... it's from a Princeton professor. She's one of the best Shakespearean interpreters:
The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets - by Helen Vendler
... was a best seller a few years back.
