"Love’s best habit is in seeming trust."
Ta había leído algunas pocas obras fe Shakespeare pero sus sonetos me llamaban la atención desde hace un buen rato. Decidí aventurarme a leerlos en su idioma original y aunque fue un desafío en varias partes también fue una lectura romántica, sensual, amena y con mucha alma.
Aparte...leerlos en voz alta intentando hacer un acento inglés es muy divertido e invito a toda persona a probarlo.

Finished! Yay!
One of those things I'm more glad to have done than I enjoyed actually doing.

The sentiment "why have you not had a child" comes up surprisingly often in the some of the first sonnets; was that a particularly Elizabethan sentiment, "I love you so much, you are so beautiful, please make a copy of yourself to last once you are gone"? Also, some of the poems seem to be written to or about men; it makes you wonder if Shakespeare is simply putting on a persona in the poem or if...something else is going on. The organization at times seems great and at other times not so much: some of the sonnets clearly follow one another or belong together, almost seeming to run on from the end of one into another and usually those are put together and in order but sometimes, once or twice, a sonnet which seems to talk about one topic will be followed by a sonnet about a different topic only for the first topic to come up again a few sonnets later. It's not clear from this edition if the organization was Shakespeare's or the original printers or later scholars' or whoever's.
“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 nan ever lov’d.”
I spent a month reading Shakespeare’s Sonnets. I have to read and re-read each line to fully understand what he means. If these sonnets were reading requirements in school, I wouldn’t have loved Shakespeare as much as I do now. Because of this sonnets, I am putting The Bard on top of the pyramid of all writers and poets.
“So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

Meh, maybe I wasn’t in the right mood but it felt like too many of those were about beauty and how it fades and not enough about everything else that factors into love. Lovely in places, but not my jam.
