"Shall I compare thee
to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely
and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake
the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date."
By William Shakespeare: Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
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 often 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 ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
a guy in my class said he thought shakespeares sonnet 18 was and i quote, "gonna be better because he said shall i compare thee to a summers day and i was like yo, thats kinda rizzy"
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
(da Sonnet xviii)
riprendeva byron:
But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think;
’Tis strange, the shortest letter which man uses
Instead of speech, may form a lasting link
Of ages; to what straits old Time reduces
Frail man, when paper - even a rag like this -
Survives himself, his tomb, and all that’s his.
(da Don Juan)
il secondo sembra volerci aggiungere un sottile velo di discrezione, quasi a dire ma no, non è mica merito mio, è che le cose vanno così e possiam solo ringraziar gli dei per questo; shakespeare invece è diretto ed esplicito: questo l'ho scritto io e scritto l'ho perché nel tempo duri (e durerà). sensazione personalissima: quella di byron è una posa. (nel caso: così sia.)
(só que: anche i geroglifici - per dire - son sopravvissuti ai millenni, però adesso chi li sa leggere più? va be', teniamoci shakespeare e byron - finché durano, gente)
Well, it’s more likely than you think. Despite his marriage to Anne Hathaway, we can’t assume William Shakespeare was exclusively heterosexual. Especially as he wrote over two thirds of his romantic sonnets, including the iconic Sonnet 18, ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day’, to a guy.
