Welcome to
aCe's Shakespearean Metaphisto
Well, I am sure by now that you are wondering what kind of nut I am having a Shakespeare page? Well, as you can see I love all that is INTENSE.
To me Shakespeare is intensity persnafied. His writings stirr
my very being. Below you will find my favorite sonnet as well
as links to various Shakespearean Web Sites.
So ENJOY!
Sonnet LIX
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
