No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: Thy pyramids built up with newer might To me are nothing novel, nothing strange; They are but dressings of a former sight.

Sonnet 123 at Historic Stone Street, Manhattan

Your love and pity doth the impression fill, Which vulgar scandal stamped upon my brow; For what care I who calls me well or ill, So you o’er-green my bad, my good allow?

Sonnet 77

Analysis

In Sonnet 77, the poet encourages his beloved to preserve his thoughts in writing, as they watch themselves age.

Here, Shakespeare warns his lover that the mirror will show how their beauty is wearing away, the clock how their precious minutes are disappearing; the pages of this blank notebook will record their thoughts; and they may learn the following things from those thoughts: The wrinkles in the mirror will remind them of open graves. By the hands of your clock, they will learn how time keeps stealing away to eternity. By writing reminders on these blank pages, when they encounter those thoughts again, the children of your brain, they’ll be grown up, nourished by continued reflection. They’ll be like a new acquaintance. Doing these things often will fill the tome with memories

This film is the perfect confluence of modern NYC, Shakespeare, and the rhythm of America’s own London.

But wherefore do not you a mightier way Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time? And fortify your self in your decay With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?

God bless thee; and put meekness in thy breast, Love, charity, obedience, and true duty!

-Much Ado About Nothing, William Shakespeare

The New York Shakespeare Exchange just launched their fundraising campaign for 2016. The season is going to be fantastic! They are producing Hamlet and a new adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s poems called The Rape of Lucrece. And, The Sonnet Project is kicking ass all over the world and rolling out new educational programs soon.
