“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.”
Sonnet 18.
William Shakespeare [1564-1616].
Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations by John Bartlett.
Published by Little, Brown and Company. 1955. Page 204.
I am reading a series of books that started with the one quote from here – the Darling Buds of May. There used to be a show based on the books. They are very odd books written in the 50s. Definitely not what I usually read.
