Because I'm Feeling Sad and Lonely

[silentknight918]

Those petty wrongs that liberty commits,
When I am sometime absent from thy
heart,
Thy beauty and thy years full well befits,
For still temptation
follows where thou art.
Gentle thou art and therefore to be won,
Beauteous
thou art, therefore to be assailed;
And when a woman woos, what woman's
son
Will sourly leave her till she have prevailed?
Ay me!

You know, I absolutely love reading and listening to poetry like that but damned if I only understand about half of it. I watched Shakespear in Love last night and it is a good thing I knew the story of R&J or I probably would have been a bit lost in that movie. I never knew that Ben WhatsHisFace was in it either, that was kinda neat.

I love everything by Shakespeare and strangely enough I understand it all!!! :)

I guess I understand it enough to grasp what is going on but I know I miss a lot because I get lost in what they are saying. But I still really love Shakespeare too.
