Her hair was coarse, she was not a goddess that walked up on air, but rather a real woman that he loved the more because of it.<br /><br />TTirzahLaughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505559474373463632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237439668554338567.post-3361396214457337962010-01-18T20:07:58.361-06:002010-01-18T20:07:58.361-06:00I'm forced to do research on Shakespeare.

I got through the first half fine then became lost mid-way. That's further than I got with Sonnet #1, and I have you to thank for it! I appreciate you exercising my mind. <br /><br />Shakespeare will become legible yet. ;)<br /><br />Great series here.<br /><br />~ Corra ;)<br /><br /><a href="http://corramcfeydon.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">from the desk of a writer</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237439668554338567.post-93289724937162142010-01-18T15:59:07.440-06:002010-01-18T15:59:07.440-06:00Tirz, yes, that's exactly what it's saying...Tirz, yes, that's exactly what it's saying.<br />annAnn Elle Altmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02192162600274764681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237439668554338567.post-11832711997875914922010-01-18T15:59:02.678-06:002010-01-18T15:59:02.678-06:00I don't know, that Earl might be cute, in a po...I don't know, that Earl might be cute, in a pointy devil beard kind of way. :)<br /><br />I wonder if the Earl knew the poem was about his vanity? Makes me think of that Carly Simon song about Warren Battie, "You're so Vain." <br /><br />I'm so glad you're doing the Shakespeare sonnets. I love reading his plays, but now I'm going to take a closer look at his sonnets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237439668554338567.post-54358467038867082602010-01-18T15:01:28.820-06:002010-01-18T15:01:28.820-06:00The poem is talks about how if the person gets old...The poem is talks about how if the person gets old and their beauty fades, and all the admiration fades, what will be left to them? Nothing. <br /><br />But the poem says, how much better it would be to pass that beauty on to their children. Because children are the true some of your life, not beauty's praise.<br /><br />That when your blood cools, you die---all beauty that will be left is in the faces of your children.<br /><br />Children and grandchildren and your line are all that lasts.<br /><br />Thats what it says to me.TirzahLaughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505559474373463632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237439668554338567.post-61415021743918257072010-01-18T08:00:49.206-06:002010-01-18T08:00:49.206-06:00Vicky, first of all, thank you for the award.

The description is for the future, when the man is old and wrinkled (deep trenches) and his eye brows are grey from "forty winters" i.e. the snow. Yes, Shakespeare suggests that being a father says a lot more about the beauty of a man, in other words, the mettle of a man, which translates to inner beauty. <br /><br />Beautiful.Bisi Adjaponhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300907751582774883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237439668554338567.post-41807015770264612992010-01-18T00:18:29.947-06:002010-01-18T00:18:29.947-06:00Not your everyday run of the mill post, which mean...Not your everyday run of the mill post, which means I love it!!<br /><br />I have an award for you <a href="http://readingatthebeach.com" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
