This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, In me thou see'st the glowing of such fireĬonsumed with that which it was nourish'd by. Which by and by black night doth take away,ĭeath's second self, that seals up all in rest. In me thou seest the twilight of such day Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,īare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang 'That time of year thou mayst in me behold When the semester starts back up after a long summer or winter break, it makes it that much more special when you finally get to meet up again in person. For anyone with a significant other, or even best friend or roommate, that live in a different city or state than you do, it takes a lot of patience and understanding to keep the relationship going. Where breath most breathes, even in the mouths of men.' -Sonnet LXXXI 3. You still shall live-such virtue hath my pen. When all the breathers of this world are dead Which eyes not yet created shall o'er-read,Īnd tongues to be your being shall rehearse When you entombed in men's eyes shall lie.

Some students make such an impact on their professors, (or vise versa) that they seem to live on forever. Senior pranks, gifts, and traditions will most likely be remembered long after the class has graduated and moved off. Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,īut if the while I think on thee, dear friend,Īll losses are restored and sorrows end.' -Sonnet XXXĤ. I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,Īnd with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:įor precious friends hid in death's dateless night,Īnd weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,Īnd moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: 'When to the sessions of sweet silent thought It's okay to remember them and appreciate the time you spent together. You lose friends and family members, but new ones are introduced. Over four years, (or three, or five.) many things will change. Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,įor thee and for myself no quiet find.' -Sonnet XXVII 7. Makes black night beauteous and her old face new. Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, Presents thy shadow to my sightless view, Looking on darkness which the blind do see To work my mind, when body's work's expired:įor then my thoughts, from far where I abide, The dear repose for limbs with travel tired

After a long day of studying, working, practicing, going to classes, or doing whatever else you did today that made you so exhausted, Shakespeare knows the feeling of climbing into bed after a hard day.
