T.S. Eliot once wrote that, "Shakespeare gives the greatest width of human passion," and it is this passion that has traditionally made The Sonnets appealing to literati and laymen alike. Surrounded by mystery, these poems of devotion and jealousy, of a young courtier and a Dark Lady, have been the subject of endless speculation. They are highly mystical and at the same ti T.S. Eliot once wrote that, "Shakespeare gives the greatest width of human passion," and it is this passion that has trad...

Sonnets Reviews
Shakespeare's Sonnet XVIII (abridged) You're hot. But not as hot as this poem. Shakespeare's Sonnet CXVI (abridged) I'll love you even when you are sixty four Or my name's not Heather Mills. Shakespeare's Sonnet XCIV (abridged) Stay cool man. Peace. Like, flower power...
Book Review William Shakespeare wrote hundreds of sonnets over three decades, mostly from the 1580s through 1610. I'm assuming most everyone has read a few of his sonnets, given they are usually required reading in high school. There is something to love in every single one of the...
This is my favourite Shakespeare sonnet: Sonnet 29 When, in disgrace with fortune and men?s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featu...
Less notorious than his plays, Shakespeare?s sonnets assimilate a secret map with hidden clues that lead to precious treasures. The intimate, even confessional tone of the 154 rhymes urges the eager reader to believe that the poetic voice is The Bard himself, who playfully volunteers...
Shakespeare has almost become synonymous to drama, we all know the fact. However, the lyrical quality that he was born with (even his life was lyrical, wasn't it?) bestowed immense poetry to his plays and perhaps, those plays led to the sonnets we are singing even today. Is there any s...
Sonnets, William Shakespeare Shakespeare's sonnets is the title of a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare, which covers themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man; the last 28 to a woman. Sonnet 1 Son...
Ever intimate in tone, Shakespeare's sonnets reflect upon the relationship between love and power, in addition to considering the many forms attempts to ward off oblivion might take. Most of the sonnets are addressed to the so-called Fair Youth (1-126), some to the Dark Lady (127-154),...
For we which now behold these present days, Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise. This Pow?rful Rhyme Eternal Tennyson is famously to have declared Shakespeare 'greater in his sonnets than in his plays'. While the reader who might not soar as easily along the ...

Here's a minor literary mystery that has been bothering me this morning. On p 176 of La vieillesse, Simone de Beauvoir quotes a French translation of Shakespeare's Sonnet 73, which in the original goes as follows:That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, o...
I have known Shakespeare wrote sonnets. I had also bought a pocket book of them from my visit to Shakespearean birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. But honestly, I really didn't give much thought on reading it until I was impelled by a group read. I'm really glad that I read it and thank...
Over my years of teaching, I have memorized a couple dozen of these sonnets, on my morning walks. Some I learned in a two-mile walk, like the one on his own writing, "Why is my verse so barren of new pride?"(76). Others I have had to re-memorize every time I teach, like "Some glory in ...
Nice collection of poetry on various themes such as different types of love, lust, beauty, betrayal, destruction caused by time, art etc. Some of the ideas expressed seemed archaic and regressive but it?s understandable as it was written long ago, so it doesn?t affect my reading...
SHAKESPEARE WANTS YOU TO BREED!!!! The first 17 or so sonnets in the series left me taken aback. It's right there in the first line of Sonnet #1: 1. From fairest creatures we desire increase That thereby beauty's Rose might never die But as the riper should be time decease Hi...

I didn't expect to enjoy Shakespeare's Sonnets quite so much. The only word I can think of to describe the experience is: lovely. So far it seems, I'm more into classical poetry than I am into modern one. ...
There is no fundamental issue to call this book a great one. Shakespeare is really different from other poets. The style and composition of words in a beautiful pattern makes him look beyond the ordinary league. His sonnets secretly deliver manifold messages. From joy to the seriousn...
I really haven't read Shakespeare's sonnets in any consistent way since high school (where I read less than twenty and memorized two). It was fascinating to read all 154 from first to last as a whole connected work. One really gets a sense that English is a tool which almost all of us ...
4/5 Stars Shakespeare has some wonderful poems, he really does. They're even better than his plays, in my opinion. However, quite unfortunately, some of them are really difficult to understand. So even though I appreciate his expertly/tightly written poems, I didn't appreciate how I...
Oh wow, these were beautiful. Most of them I didn't understand but the language was beautfiul. I still have to film a review for this and I'm just really intimidated, dear God, how am I to make sense of these! I don't have the book at hand (whilst writing this review) but the two l...
All I want to do now is lie on the grass, and make mooony-eyes at the moon! ...
Shakespeare is so good! The Bard always wins! ...
Probably, more nonsense has been talked and written, more intellectual and emotional energy expended in vain, on the sonnets of Shakespeare than on any other literary work in the world. ?W. H. Auden, Introduction to Shakespare's Sonnets __________ It is my understanding that Shake-...
Probably the best known of all of the 154 sonnets is 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 he...
Shall I compare thee to a Summers day? Thou art more louely and more temperate: Rough windes do shake the darling buds of Maie, And Sommers lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heauen shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm?d, And euery faire...
Shakespeare in love Trovo che Shakespeare sia di una attualità sorprendente. Passano gli anni, i secoli, i millenni, ma il cuore dell?uomo resta eternamente lo stesso. 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate Rough winds do y and mo...

I?ve been wondering for a while how to approach this review. I had thought that it might be interesting to do a close reading of a single sonnet and leave it at that. What I?ve decided is to write a quick review on this edition of The Sonnets, mostly chatting about the stuff this b...
As I have been writing sonnets lately, I decided to re-read the works of the genius, the master, of the sonnet form. I was intrigued to understand how Shakespeare suffered in writing his sonnets as a young man not yet established as a dramatist. He was writing under the patronage of a ...
Beautiful I loved this. Read and listened to these poems. I'm glad they are on my Kindle so I can go back to them anytime, both the favorites I've highlighted, and also to those I didn't completely understand. ...
Shakespeare's Sonnet XVIII (abridged) You're hot. But not as hot as this poem. Shakespeare's Sonnet CXVI (abridged) I'll love you even when you are sixty four Or my name's not Heather Mills. Shakespeare's Sonnet XCIV (abridged) Stay cool man. Peace. Like, flower power...
Book Review William Shakespeare wrote hundreds of sonnets over three decades, mostly from the 1580s through 1610. I'm assuming most everyone has read a few of his sonnets, given they are usually required reading in high school. There is something to love in every single one of the...
This is my favourite Shakespeare sonnet: Sonnet 29 When, in disgrace with fortune and men?s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featu...
Less notorious than his plays, Shakespeare?s sonnets assimilate a secret map with hidden clues that lead to precious treasures. The intimate, even confessional tone of the 154 rhymes urges the eager reader to believe that the poetic voice is The Bard himself, who playfully volunteers...
Shakespeare has almost become synonymous to drama, we all know the fact. However, the lyrical quality that he was born with (even his life was lyrical, wasn't it?) bestowed immense poetry to his plays and perhaps, those plays led to the sonnets we are singing even today. Is there any s...
Sonnets, William Shakespeare Shakespeare's sonnets is the title of a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare, which covers themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man; the last 28 to a woman. Sonnet 1 Son...
Ever intimate in tone, Shakespeare's sonnets reflect upon the relationship between love and power, in addition to considering the many forms attempts to ward off oblivion might take. Most of the sonnets are addressed to the so-called Fair Youth (1-126), some to the Dark Lady (127-154),...

Here's a minor literary mystery that has been bothering me this morning. On p 176 of La vieillesse, Simone de Beauvoir quotes a French translation of Shakespeare's Sonnet 73, which in the original goes as follows:That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, o...
I have known Shakespeare wrote sonnets. I had also bought a pocket book of them from my visit to Shakespearean birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. But honestly, I really didn't give much thought on reading it until I was impelled by a group read. I'm really glad that I read it and thank...
Over my years of teaching, I have memorized a couple dozen of these sonnets, on my morning walks. Some I learned in a two-mile walk, like the one on his own writing, "Why is my verse so barren of new pride?"(76). Others I have had to re-memorize every time I teach, like "Some glory in ...

Book Review William Shakespeare wrote hundreds of sonnets over three decades, mostly from the 1580s through 1610. I'm assuming most everyone has read a few of his sonnets, given they are usually required reading in high school. There is something to love in every single one of the...
This is my favourite Shakespeare sonnet: Sonnet 29 When, in disgrace with fortune and men?s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featu...
Less notorious than his plays, Shakespeare?s sonnets assimilate a secret map with hidden clues that lead to precious treasures. The intimate, even confessional tone of the 154 rhymes urges the eager reader to believe that the poetic voice is The Bard himself, who playfully volunteers...

Ever intimate in tone, Shakespeare's sonnets reflect upon the relationship between love and power, in addition to considering the many forms attempts to ward off oblivion might take. Most of the sonnets are addressed to the so-called Fair Youth (1-126), some to the Dark Lady (127-154),...

Here's a minor literary mystery that has been bothering me this morning. On p 176 of La vieillesse, Simone de Beauvoir quotes a French translation of Shakespeare's Sonnet 73, which in the original goes as follows:That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, o...
I have known Shakespeare wrote sonnets. I had also bought a pocket book of them from my visit to Shakespearean birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. But honestly, I really didn't give much thought on reading it until I was impelled by a group read. I'm really glad that I read it and thank...
Over my years of teaching, I have memorized a couple dozen of these sonnets, on my morning walks. Some I learned in a two-mile walk, like the one on his own writing, "Why is my verse so barren of new pride?"(76). Others I have had to re-memorize every time I teach, like "Some glory in ...
Nice collection of poetry on various themes such as different types of love, lust, beauty, betrayal, destruction caused by time, art etc. Some of the ideas expressed seemed archaic and regressive but it?s understandable as it was written long ago, so it doesn?t affect my reading...
SHAKESPEARE WANTS YOU TO BREED!!!! The first 17 or so sonnets in the series left me taken aback. It's right there in the first line of Sonnet #1: 1. From fairest creatures we desire increase That thereby beauty's Rose might never die But as the riper should be time decease Hi...
I didn't expect to enjoy Shakespeare's Sonnets quite so much. The only word I can think of to describe the experience is: lovely. So far it seems, I'm more into classical poetry than I am into modern one. ...
There is no fundamental issue to call this book a great one. Shakespeare is really different from other poets. The style and composition of words in a beautiful pattern makes him look beyond the ordinary league. His sonnets secretly deliver manifold messages. From joy to the seriousn...
I really haven't read Shakespeare's sonnets in any consistent way since high school (where I read less than twenty and memorized two). It was fascinating to read all 154 from first to last as a whole connected work. One really gets a sense that English is a tool which almost all of us ...

Probably the best known of all of the 154 sonnets is 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 he...

I didn't expect to enjoy Shakespeare's Sonnets quite so much. The only word I can think of to describe the experience is: lovely. So far it seems, I'm more into classical poetry than I am into modern one. ...
There is no fundamental issue to call this book a great one. Shakespeare is really different from other poets. The style and composition of words in a beautiful pattern makes him look beyond the ordinary league. His sonnets secretly deliver manifold messages. From joy to the seriousn...
I really haven't read Shakespeare's sonnets in any consistent way since high school (where I read less than twenty and memorized two). It was fascinating to read all 154 from first to last as a whole connected work. One really gets a sense that English is a tool which almost all of us ...
4/5 Stars Shakespeare has some wonderful poems, he really does. They're even better than his plays, in my opinion. However, quite unfortunately, some of them are really difficult to understand. So even though I appreciate his expertly/tightly written poems, I didn't appreciate how I...
Oh wow, these were beautiful. Most of them I didn't understand but the language was beautfiul. I still have to film a review for this and I'm just really intimidated, dear God, how am I to make sense of these! I don't have the book at hand (whilst writing this review) but the two l...
Shakespeare's Sonnet XVIII (abridged) You're hot. But not as hot as this poem. Shakespeare's Sonnet CXVI (abridged) I'll love you even when you are sixty four Or my name's not Heather Mills. Shakespeare's Sonnet XCIV (abridged) Stay cool man. Peace. Like, flower power...
Book Review William Shakespeare wrote hundreds of sonnets over three decades, mostly from the 1580s through 1610. I'm assuming most everyone has read a few of his sonnets, given they are usually required reading in high school. There is something to love in every single one of the...
This is my favourite Shakespeare sonnet: Sonnet 29 When, in disgrace with fortune and men?s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featu...
Less notorious than his plays, Shakespeare?s sonnets assimilate a secret map with hidden clues that lead to precious treasures. The intimate, even confessional tone of the 154 rhymes urges the eager reader to believe that the poetic voice is The Bard himself, who playfully volunteers...
Shakespeare has almost become synonymous to drama, we all know the fact. However, the lyrical quality that he was born with (even his life was lyrical, wasn't it?) bestowed immense poetry to his plays and perhaps, those plays led to the sonnets we are singing even today. Is there any s...
Sonnets, William Shakespeare Shakespeare's sonnets is the title of a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare, which covers themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man; the last 28 to a woman. Sonnet 1 Son...
Ever intimate in tone, Shakespeare's sonnets reflect upon the relationship between love and power, in addition to considering the many forms attempts to ward off oblivion might take. Most of the sonnets are addressed to the so-called Fair Youth (1-126), some to the Dark Lady (127-154),...

Here's a minor literary mystery that has been bothering me this morning. On p 176 of La vieillesse, Simone de Beauvoir quotes a French translation of Shakespeare's Sonnet 73, which in the original goes as follows:That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, o...
I have known Shakespeare wrote sonnets. I had also bought a pocket book of them from my visit to Shakespearean birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. But honestly, I really didn't give much thought on reading it until I was impelled by a group read. I'm really glad that I read it and thank...

Over my years of teaching, I have memorized a couple dozen of these sonnets, on my morning walks. Some I learned in a two-mile walk, like the one on his own writing, "Why is my verse so barren of new pride?"(76). Others I have had to re-memorize every time I teach, like "Some glory in ...
