    SONNET 116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds‚ Or bends with the remover to remove. Oh no! It is an ever fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wandering bark‚ Whose worth’s unknown‚ although his height be taken. Love’s not Time’s fool‚ though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come. Love alters not with his brief hours

    My quote that I am going to tell about is by Vincent Van Gogh. The quote is “If you hear a voice within you say‚ ‘you cannot paint‚’ then by all means paint‚ and that voice will be silenced.” Today i’m going to be talking about the attributes of this quote and why it is important to know what it means.

    Spirit in a Waste of Shame Where most poetry since Petrarch had been based on the unavailability of the love object‚ Shakespeare in sonnet 129 writes about exactly what happens when you get what you think you want. But contrary to expectations it is not an achievement devoutly to be wished‚ but rather an inevitable nightmare. It’s quite hard to pin down Sonnet 129 to one specific speech situation. Neither is there any “I” – a clear reference to a particular‚ personal experience - ‚ nor does it
