SONNET #18
by: William Shakespeare
"SHALL I compare thee to a summer's day?
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 dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall Death brag thou wand'rest in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."
W.Shakespeare is one of the greatest most poetic writers of all time, and i'm loving mr.catanghal for unfolding shakespeare's life and works to us. :) . I'm amazed with how he could turn even the most dirty insults into works of art. :) SHAKESPEARE IS AMAZING
..And sonnet 18, i think, is a masterpiece! It's like.. reading between the lines and just watch as the true meaning of the sonnet unravel before you. Grabe, and when you read it.. you'll see how beautiful is 'she' for 'him'. and this lines : "..So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." are mushy yet it makes me go "aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww!" ..As long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives your beauty. :) wow. And as long as people read shakespeare's works of art, so long lives his memories :). [yuck nagpaka writer.?!] haha!. :)
