у перших сонетах п'ятнадцяти шекспір наполягає на тому, що треба розмножуватися, – хотілось би сказати, що на різні лади, але в основному на той самий: чувак, ти такий гарний, що тобі точно треба сина, бо ж постарієш і вмреш, не передавши своїх коштовних генів. не знаю, чим керувався укладач, розташовуючи їх саме так, проте воно безумовно збиває настрій.
далі, звісно, багато різного про любов.

Here are the sonnets I loved the most or found interesting:
- #18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
- #23 As an unperfect actor on the stage
- #27 Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed
- #43 When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see
- #60 Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore
- #74 But be contented. When that fell arrest
- #81 Or shall I live your epitaph to make
- #91 Some glory in their birth, some in their skill
- #116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds
- #121 'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed
- #123 No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change.
- #138 When my love swears that she is made of truth
- #141 In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes
- #145 Those lips that Love's own hand did make
I’m a Shakespeare girly for sure. I loved reading his sonnets, in fact I think I devoured them hahah. I absolutely recommend reading some or even all of them.
no one:
shakespeare: you will die but i write good poetry and i wrote this poem about you so guess what you actually won't die

Thanks to Ben McEvoy, I decided to read one Shakespeare sonnet every day (except for days I couldn't). Thus it took me almost a year to read the 154 sonnets. It was one of my favorite literary projects of all time. During the journey, I reflected on a kind highschool teacher who introduced a few sonnets to me and who had concentrated her Yale studies on Shakespeare. I wrote to her and reconnected. In addition, I learned about Shakespeare, the sonnets, the ambiguity of his writing, the mystery surrounding his themes and ambiguity. I also found the influence of Shakespeare's sonnets in Wolff's Mrs Dalloway and Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. I even read Wilde's lesser known (but even more directly linked to the sonnets) "The Portrait of Mr W.H." (which I highly-recommend.)
For the record, I don't hold with the idea that the fair youth and the dark lady both were lovers of Shakespeare. But then again what do I know ?
