William Shakespeare
- love poems to secret love of Shakespeare’s
- the Dark Lady – don’t know that is
- the Fair Youth – young man – Sonnet 18
-Shakespeare was likely bisexual, secretive
Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
thou art -you are
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 oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
eternal lines – lines of this poem
The couplet gives the secret of the poem, the sonnet
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
this – the poem that we are reading
this gives life to thee – this poem gives eternal life and beauty to the Fair Youth
