How to Approach Shakespeare: Sonnet 5

Sonnet #5 as recited by Jacob Chaos.

Those hours, that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel;
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there;
Sap checked with frost, and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness every where:
Then were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it, nor no remembrance what it was:
But flowers distill'd, though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.

You're completely right when U say we don't have to wait to be perfect to so or start doing sth...and I think this is what I've been doing for a long time...I've felt kind of nervous or scared to so things, but you've made me think a lot. (Now I'll listen to the rest of your video =) As Jeremy Harmer said in one of his books (How to teach ENlgish) "Great teachers inspire" and I have found one who has just done it. Thanks for the help you're giving us all.

A big hug. Yenny.

Hi there, I'm a teacher of English...I got here thanks to a post of TESOL Chile on facebook... I wish I had gone to your presention at the IATEFl conference, but I couldn't (nowadays I'm unemployed) and in that position, though it wasn't that expensive, it would have been a luxury =/....anyway! I'm here listening to you and I've just started listening to you and I got inmediately inspired by your words. (continues)
