    dispute whether or not the sonnets are actually written by William Shakespeare‚ the strongest argument for this is the phrase "BY.OVR.EVERLIVING.POET."‚ in which some‚ the most notable being the entertainment lawyer and author Bertram Fields‚ argue that this would mean the author would be dead by 1609‚ while William Shakespeare lived until 1616.[1] The 154 poems were most likely written over a period of several years and published in the 1609 collection. These were all in sonnet form and previously unpublished

    The Test of Time: An Analysis of Shakespeare’s Sixtieth Sonnet “You may delay‚ but time will not‚” remarked American inventor Benjamin Franklin. Franklin suggests that the relationship between people and time is a distant one because time is indifferent of the humans who rely on it. If one imagines himself walking alongside time‚ the natural rhythm of two moving together does not apply; if the person chooses to slow down‚ time will continue at its own pace regardless of its partner’s decision.
