William Shakespeare pays tribute to our most beautiful emotion in this timeless collection. In addition to his plays Shakespeare was also well-known for love poetry, “his sugared sonnets among his private friends.” This faux leather bound mini includes introduction, biography, and Shakespeare’s best-known sonnets to read and share with the one you love.
Sonnets are fourteen lines with iambic pentameter rhythm. Outside of that, anything goes. Some self-imposed limitations could prevail, but I choose to let the reader listen to the voice rather than just to hear the sound, feel the rhythm rather than count the beat, and see the message rather than analyze the form. So, enjoy the picture and not the frame -- after all, a poem by any other name . . .
This is a collection of sonnets written by the legendary poet Edmund Spenser. The sonnets are a tribute to the poet's love for a woman named Elizabeth Boyle. They are written in a traditional Elizabethan style and are known for their beauty and romanticism. This book is a must-have for students of English literature and lovers of poetry.
