  • Summary

  • Shakespeare manages to say he's the hottest guy on earth and then humble himself all in one sonnet, what a guy!


    Here is the image of Shakespeare I talked about: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/mar/19/shakespeare-grave-effigy-believed-to-be-definitive-likeness


    Sonnet 62

    Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye
    And all my soul, and all my every part;
    And for this sin there is no remedy,
    It is so grounded inward in my heart.
    Methinks no face so gracious is as mine,
    No shape so true, no truth of such account;
    And for myself mine own worth do define,
    As I all other in all worths surmount.
    But when my glass shows me myself indeed
    Beated and chopp'd with tanned antiquity,
    Mine own self-love quite contrary I read;
    Self so self-loving were iniquity.
    'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise,
    Painting my age with beauty of thy days.
