Lovey-Dovey People
Sonnet 116
was a pretty neat poem. I like
Shakespeare. He’s pretty cool. “Love is not love which alters when it alteration
finds, or bends with the remover to remove.”
I don’t know why this dude has to make it so complicated, but he’s
trying to say that true love doesn’t change.
It is constant. It doesn’t
bend. It doesn’t flit from object to
object or from person to person.” The
poem continues to explain that love is fixed like the North Star (so poetic!)
and that love doesn’t fade like time.
Though, our appearance changes with time, our love should not. That line reminded me of 1 Samuel 16:7 which
says, “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” That’s what you should be doing boys. The Lord Almighty is a good example. I agreed with the poem because I believe that
love is fixed. Love is not supposed to
flit from person to person or object to object…but mostly not from person to
person…cause that ain’t cool.

I agree, and that love won't flee in the chance of Armageddon. I really liked reading the Shakespeare because I think ripping a poem like his to shreds is a nice exercise. It was a cute poem I loved delving into his works. Maybe cause I'm a chick... I have no clue :P
ReplyDeleteI agree with you also. I think it is a 'chick' thing Christy. I love this poem and after annotating it, the meaning was a whole lot clearer!
