Essay Reading “My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun” and “Shall I Compare thee to a summer’s day?” by William Shakespeare was very interesting. It can sometimes be hard to understand what the poet was really trying to get at but once you figure them out‚ it becomes really interesting to see their true meanings.
