Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Sonnet 116
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-fixèd mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his heighth 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.
2nd Poem that I choosed:
Remember
by Christina Rosetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
What are the poems about?
The first poem is about a guy describing what "True Love" is. He is telling everyone the difference between true love and love. He says that when love changes that's because it's not true love, and if the love dose not changes that because it's true love and they are meant to be. At last he says that if some one proves him wrong on he thoughts he would take everything he said and in reality no man has been love.
The second poem is a women man that tells her that she should not miss him because no matter what he loves and he would like to be remembered in good thoughts.
2. How is the poet saying ?
They both say it in a good way. The express them self through the poem. The 1st poem was basically about a man that was trying to explain what true love really means. The second one the author saying that she express her feelings towards when the guy left.
