| |  | | | From The Publisher
This new edition focuses on the Sonnets as poetry - sometimes strikingly individual poems, but often subtly interlinked in thematic, imagistic and other groupings. Gwynne Evans and Anthony Hecht also address the many questions that cast a veil of mystery over the genesis of the Sonnets: to what extent are they autobiographical? What is the nature of the 'love', strongly expressed, between the 'poet', the 'youth' and the 'Dark Lady'? Can they, apart from the poet, be identified? Who is the 'rival poet'? When were the Sonnets written and in what order? What were the circumstances surrounding their publication?
| | | | Annotation
Shakespeare's ever-popular love poems are illustrated with enchanting paintings by the noted Edwardian artist Charles Robinson.

"Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me
From mine own library with volumes
that I prize above my dukedom."
"And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything."
"Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything."
"Some men never seem to grow old. Always active in thought, always ready to adopt new ideas, they are never chargeable with foggyism. Satisfied, yet ever dissatisfied, settled, yet ever unsettled, they always enjoy the best of what is, are the first to find the best of what will be."
"Speak to me as to thy thinkings,
As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst of thoughts
The worst of words."
"My words fly up, my thoughts remain below:
Words without thoughts never to heaven go."
"I understand a fury in your words,
But not the words."
"It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds."
"To be a well-flavored man is the gift of fortune, but to write or read comes by nature."
