Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments...
Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare
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.

She may not transmit much of an emotion, but I think she got the prosody right. Her stress was put on the right words I think. Despite the lack of emotion, I find this one of the best versions I have heard so far

I'm sorry, but she transmits no emotion whatsoever to me, despite the beautiful verses.. she sounds like a robot..

CHEERS to the wonderful woman who orally versed this sonnet. She did a bang up job.
