William Shakespeare -SONNET 73
read by Sam Dastor
Studio production - Robert Nichol

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self seals up all in rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such a fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by. This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

  • @dane5256 sure

  • well written BUT I think line 3 and 4 belong together ... so "upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruined choirs..." i think it´s cold, bare runied choirs because otherwise it does not make sense syntactically. just my humble opinion :)

  • ten minutes ago i stumbled over a bloody video about a sex-change op. It started with a quote from the movie "v-for vendetta" which somehow reminded me of william shakespeare so I googled for it to find myself here.

    ...

    I love the internet.

    Thnx mr berners-lee
