Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth.įor whether beauty, birth, or wealth, or wit, So I, made lame by fortune’s dearest spite, To see his active child do deeds of youth, That then I scorn to change my state with kings. Haply I think on thee, and then my state,įrom sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate įor thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,įeatured like him, like him with friends possess’d,ĭesiring this man’s art and that man’s scope, When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,Īnd trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries To hear with eyes belongs to love’s fine wit. O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: More than that tongue that more hath more express’d. Who plead for love, and look for recompense, O’ercharg’d with burden of mine own love’s might.Īnd dumb presagers of my speaking breast Whose strength’s abundance weakens his own heart Īnd in mine own love’s strength seem to decay, Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Who with his fear is put besides his part,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,Īnd too often is his gold complexion dimm’d:Īnd every fair from fair sometimes declines,īy chance or natures changing course untrimm’d Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,Īnd summer’s lease hath all too short a date: What is the most impressive thing to think about, they are still actual and describe the feelings people have again and again from generation to generation. I have to admit that through the years since I read the first line by Shakespeare, his sonnets have been my favourite part among everything he wrote. His heritage is often described as the foundation of classic British literature, and being translated to numerous languages, it has had a great impact on the literature of the whole world.Īs spring is also believed to be the most romantic part of the year, today I’d like to honour his talent here with the collection of romantic sonnets. He was a talented actor and fruitful author who presented the world’s plays, poems, and narratives. Supposedly, William Shakespeare is the name that is remembered in seconds when anyone is asked about prominent classic authors of all times. Among many events marked in spring, April has a special day, particularly loved by the fans of British literature: they celebrate the anniversary of Shakespeare’s birthday.
