Shakespeare, Sonnet CXVI: ''Let me not to the Marriage of True Minds''
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.
The first lines of this sonnet echo in my mind; they come to me as waves of a neverending swell.
Sorry for the interference on your study group! Hope you don't mind.
The first lines of this sonnet echo in my mind; they come to me as waves of a neverending swell.
I just love this sonnet.
I didn't mind at all... that's why I put it all online in the first place. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
