 Sonnet XVIII

by William Shakespeare












Shall I compare thee to 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.

William Shakespeare uses Sonnet 18 to praise his beloved's beauty and describe all the ways in which their beauty is preferable to a summer day. The stability of love and its power to immortalize someone is the overarching theme of this poem.

William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest dramatist of all time and the most influential writer in English language history. And all I have to say about his sonnet 18 is that it is absolutely stunning because it describes all of the ways in which their beauty is preferable to a summer day. This poem's overarching theme is the stability of love and its ability to immortalize someone. And it's about contrasting the Fair Youth's enduring beauty with nature's fleeting beauty.

If I Were a Voice by Charles Mackay (Poem) - Thinkers, Writers & English Lovers Corner

If I Were a Voice by Charles Mackay If I were a voice, a persuasive voice, That could travel the wide world through, I would fly on the beams of the morning light, And speak to men with a gentle might, And tell them to be true. I'd fly, I'd fly, o'er land and sea, Wherever a human heart might be, Telling a tale, or singing a song, In praise of the right - in blame of the wrong.   If I were a voice, a consoling voice, I'd fly on the wings of air, The homes of Sorrow and Guilt I'd seek, And calm and truthful words I'd speak To save them from Despair. I'd fly, I'd fly, o'er the crowded town, And drop, like the happy sun-light, down Into the hearts of suffering men, And teach them to rejoice again.   If I were a voice, a convincing voice, I'd travel with the wind, And whenever I saw the nations torn By warfare, jealousy, or scorn, If I were a voice, a convincing voice, I 'd travel with the wind, And whenever I saw the nations torn By warfare, jea
