A Summer's Day

I am missing summer today. Sydney's weather has been glorious recently, but this morning looks and feels like winter. 

So I'm posting my favourite Shakespearean sonnet (about summer and a lover) and more photograph's from our long summer escape. 

Enjoy!

 SONNET 18

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:

 

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
 
 


And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;



But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;



Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:



So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.


Keep writing!
