William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616 / Warwickshire)
Sonnet CI
O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends
For thy neglect of truth in beauty dyed?
Both truth and beauty on my love depends;
So dost thou too, and therein dignified.
Make answer, Muse: wilt thou not haply say
'Truth needs no colour, with his colour fix'd;
Beauty no pencil, beauty's truth to lay;
But best is best, if never intermix'd?'
Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb?

he is a great poet and philosopher of english language
he had treasures of words, fellings, emotion..........
Tonight has no choice.
Just movements of the hart.
It happens before and after you know.
With wet eyes and a sour hart.
Stings of hiding lust come out at night,
And in the day, with a clear brain, , , , , ,
Reason.
Will you look behind the closed blink, ?
john daily, i admire you. well done.
oh alas, now that is what i call a poem full of feeling, full of soul, i like that!
I apologize to all for the fact that i'm using this comment box as a means of delivering a personal message, but i feel it must be done. Okay first off... Why Whitt Bell why? Why do you pollute the msg boards of a website dedicated to poetry and poets alike with phrases of 'i hate this guy, i think all poetry is stupid.'
Its obvious you don't understand the greater meaning behind written works of literature and, in turn, it shows that your an illiterate twit who is a prime example of ignorance everywhere. Your kind infest the world and, like a parasite, feast on the living Word of others while producing nothing of your own. You are a hypocrite and a louse; you should spout your words of stupidity elsewhere. Leave us in peace.
I don't like Shakespeare. I think all of the poems he wrote are stupid. I hate him for writing books that I have to do big projects over. Romeo and Juliet especially. He's stupid.
the way he express his thoughts, experiences and life its self is amazing..he uses educated language and deep metaphors that sometimes i cant understand but its a pleasure to read his work
Shakespeare, the master of english language. Has got amazing mastery over the language.
hi i want to know what is the meaning of 'But bears it out even to the edge of doom'
its excellent u should but it on the best list
