The Sonnet Project........Part 1

PLEASE READ:

The project:

The project was very simply to see if I can get about 30+ YTbers to say 98 lines of poetry and piece them together to form 7 sonnets.

You guys will be the judge if it worked or not but I am thankful to all of them for taking time from their busy lives to submit the lines.

I was going to put an interpretive blurb here about each of the sonnets, but then figured each one should interpret these lines thru the lens of their own life's loves and circumstances.




Shakespeare's sonnet #116, first published in 1609, is one of his most romantic pieces and is one of the best-known of his 154 sonnets.

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:
O 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 and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Sonnets from the Portuguese, written ca. 1845--1846 and first published in 1850, is a collection of forty-four love sonnets written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The poems largely chronicle the period leading up to her 1846 marriage to Robert Browning. Sonnet #43 is one of her most famous.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
