Shakespeare's Sonnets: Revised
by William Shakespeare
My lack of enthusiasm for this collection is largely due to my lack of enthusiasm for poetry writ large. That said, I read along with Sir Patrick Stewart as he posted daily and that made the reading very much enjoyable. Following along with him meant at least twice as long to read but that's alright. I don’t appreciate sonnets as much as I probably should, but loved to hearing Sir Patrick read them.
Favorite lines:
All of Sonnet 130. What a great poem.
"But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored, and sorrows end."
- Sonnet 30
"No more be grieved at that which thou has done;
Roses have thorns and silver fountains mud;
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.
All men make faults, and even I, in this"
-Sonnet 35
"Farewell, thou art too dear for my possessing"
-Sonnet 87
