Sonnet 18

(William Shakespeare)

“Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” — William Shakespeare, Sonnet 18

When flitting about his assistants' garden, Algy was truly astonished to see a red rose in bloom on a sunny wall. He had never before seen a rose flowering in February in the wild west Highlands of Scotland, and this rose had just one single flower, while the rest of the plant was dormant, as he would expect at this time of year.

How it could be flowering through all the frost was truly mystifying, but it was quite obvious to Algy that this red rose must have been sent especially so that he could offer it – together with that most famous of all sonnets – as a Valentine's card to all his friends on St. Valentine's Day, and particularly to all those who might not have a Valentine of their own.

And of course the wonderful thing about tumblr is that no matter how many people receive Algy's rose, each and every one can take it happily without depriving any of the others 😍

Happy St. Valentine's Day ❤️

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 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.

"And if I say I really loved you and was glad you came along

When you were here today

For you were in my song"

Sonnet 18 in modern English:

"And you will never die, as you will live on in my enduring poetry.

As long as there are people still alive to read poems this sonnet will live, and you will live in it."

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

actually nah imma not compare you to one it's already annoying me in class
