A brave vessel, Who had, no doubt, some noble creatures in her,
Dash'd all to pieces! "

‘Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head…
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee and for myself no quiet find.’ ~ Sonnet XXVII.

‘From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim…
Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose…
Yet seem'd it winter still, and, you away,
As with your shadow I with these did play’ ~ Sonnet 98 #BookWormSat #ShakespeareWeek
