      Kimball Cook Not me, I'm here because I learned this as an 18 year old (English is not my first language) and while getting ready this morning, I suddenly thought of it and started saying it. It turns out I haven't forgotten it in 20 years.

    I love how romantic this poem is! It's really saying that as long as this sonnet lives on, and people are here to see it, the loveliness of whoever he wrote it for will stay forever!

    Poetry does not always have to be read with theatrical emotion. Let the words speak for themselves.
    bernardshakespeare: thank you for providing this, by the way. I just started to study the sonnets and hearing its pacing read out loud is a huge help if I ever want to recite them on my own.

    Shakespeare... conveys such tangibility in his work...
    sometimes a person has feeling he "cannot describe" I as you all may now what I mean but Shakespeare never runs into this problem. He can describe every feeling and every dramatic occurance possible. He has already done so

    en la lengua castellana también leemos al maestro inglés y aquí está en español la estrofa más hermosa de este soneto:
    "¿tendré que compararte a un día de primavera?
    tú tienes más hermosura y suavidad,
    ráfagas de viento agitan los preciosos brotes de mayo
    y el préstamo del estío vence a corto plazo"
    eres el más grande Shakespeare....

  • @MenWhoPutOnGlasses
    @MenWhoPutOnGlasses 14 лет назад

    @profpatriciagimenes Actually it's a satire of a sonnet, and it is written to his male friend. If you look closer you can see how he shows summer's faults, in which he first compares his friend to. He says things like sometimes summer is too hot, or summer is too short. Also that fairness does not last. In reality he is praising his own skills in writing poetry, saying that this poem gives life to this man.

    Я взяла сонет 18 для разучивания пьесы , он захватил мое сердце в жаркие объятия любви , искренних эмоций и жаркой страсти я стала непременно разучивать его , и уже не забуду его никогда.

    Dare I erase the figment of time before and past a summers day. To compare thy warmth thy cold of sun shadow and clouded day to obey the soft whisper of wind thy echo leaching to heart skin and wasted sin. I dare not place your name upon thy glare thy warmth upon ever fading day

      I always thought this was about his son Hamnet who was often sick and died as a child? I think that makes it a more beautiful love story for his lost only son.

  • @andiejanefisher
    @andiejanefisher 16 лет назад

    yes, "thou" was informal and the formal "you" stuck. "Thou" is used in the accusative and "thee" in the dative case, I think. (correct me if I've got that wrong)

    "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day..." - We love these wonderful words and it's amazing how many people are inspired by this sonnet in so many different ways. We tried to write some music to it and hope you like our version. We are open and happy for all kinds of feedback and are interested in other versions of "Sonnet 18": ruclips.net/video/XxcOyaDN25o/видео.html

    I have tried to deliver continuity in my interpretation of all 154 sonnets and have received much praise from many worldwide both for my reading and for my accent. Thus I am sorry to hear that you might feel I have delivered 154 sonnets in a consistently monotonous fashion, but I must highlight the fact that, in my considered opinion, you are mistaken and it seems that the youtube community is in agreement with me.
    Thank you for your, no doubt, honest and well-meaning criticism.

    @bernardshakespeare  15 лет назад

    Indeed I can and do say that any one reading is better than another - but only by reference to my own personal opinion. - That is subjective and not objective. I welcome your constructive criticism even though I do respectfully disagree. Perhaps if you looked beyond accent you might find the feeling adequately expressed - more so in my interpretations of the later sonnets. I do agree that perhaps the first 30 or so sonnets are less emphatic on emotion.
    What I do not want to do is to exaggerate
