Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?	Shall I compare you to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:	You are more lovely and more constant:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,	Rough winds shake the beloved buds of May
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:	And summer is far too short:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,	At times the sun is too hot,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;	Or often goes behind the clouds;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,	And everything beautiful sometime will lose its beauty,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;	By misfortune or by nature's planned out course.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade	But your youth shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;	Nor will you lose the beauty that you possess;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,	Nor will death claim you for his own,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:	Because in my eternal verse you will live forever.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,	So long as there are people on this earth,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.	So long will this poem live on, making you immortal. In this poem, Shakespeare is introducing the themes of love, beauty, and summer. I have chosen this poem because it is by far, my favorite poem ever. When i read this poem, i think of love and how it can affect one's view of life in general; and to be able to share that view with others would be an honor.This poem is obviously an expression of feelings projected from the speaker towards a person he loves. He loves the woman so much and he wants to be with her and he is trying his hardest to convince her that they are supposed to be together. My favorite lines of this entire sonnet are when he says, "When in eternal lines to time thou growest so long as men can breathe or eyes can see; so long lives this and this gives life to thee." I love these lines because he has the utmost confidence and is not afraid to tell this female how he feels about her. In my opinion, that is the most romantic thing that can ever was to be.

PFFT!!!!

This is a very interesting piece in many interesting ways. So many different symbolisms and innuendos that can be construed from this drawing. It represents many things from humanity and our societies from the things that come from our mouths to the things we do with our hands and other members. Our attitudes are a key part to this drawing as well....posture taken into consideration. The hair represents the idea that we all are different in our own way and to someone else you may be wild. Overall, this drawing is a really good drawing and i enjoyed blogging about it.
