Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
learned this sonnet during my secondary school years....
it was one of the most beautiful sonnets i've ever read...
the way shakespeare preserves someone's beauty through his words are simply wonderful....
i hope to read more of his sonnets and poem in the future....
literature can be fun if you understand them....
i'm pretty sure you know about Romeo And Juliet....
~peace~
