Shakespeare's Sonnet...

I'm never sure what I'm going to write about here each time I make an entry. Earlier, my artist group EBSQ was asking for our opinions for 2011 shows. One of my suggestions was Shakespeare's Sonnets. So...thought I would share one of my favorites:

Sonnet Number 91

Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,

Some in their wealth, some in their body's force,

Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill,

Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;

And every humor hath his adjunct pleasure, wherein it finds a joy above the rest.

But these particulars are not my measure,

But these I better in one general best.

Thy love is better than high birth to me,

Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,

Of more delight than hawks or horses be;

And having thee, of all men's pride I boast;

Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take all this away, and me most wretched make.
