Sonnet 18 — “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”

"Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,\nSo long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Perhaps Shakespeare’s most famous sonnet, celebrating eternal beauty through verse."
