William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 (13). This is one of his most well-known sonnets and it also happens to be one of my favorite poems of all time. Shakespeare does not use words to falsify his mistress’ image; however‚ he uses them to tell the reality of her. This is what makes his love for her so special.
