They..


TOLERANCE

The best 400 year old advice you can get on how to behave;

Courtesy of an English Poet

called

William Shakespeare

-

They that have power to hurt and will do none
That do not do the thing they most do show
Who,moving others, are themselves as stone,
Umoved, cold and to temptation slow,
-
They rightly do inherit heavens graces
And husband natures riches from expense;
They are the Lords and owners of their faces
Others but stewards of their excellence.
-
The summer's flower is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves it's dignity:
-
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lillies that fester
Smell far worse than weeds

-

Something to aim for 
-
Exercise the power you have to control yourself
-
And don't become a lilly that festers

Comment on Shakespeare's Sonnet: CIII




Limited by words are we
-
To draw in verse
-
Such symmetry
-
Yet words
-
Imperfect
-
Soiled by Man
-
May not 
-
True Beauty 
-
Understand

Comment of Shakespeare's Sonnet: LXXIX





It seems therefore that graces may be found
-
Where
-
By nature placed
-
They do abound
-
Though through our pens we may record
-
Those virtues seen
-
Their owners

are

True virtue
-
Our perception borrowed dreams

Comment on Shakespeare's Sonnet: LXXV



Ah Will

Of love it is 

You surely here do write

A feast

On Beauty

Through thy pleasure'd sight

Thy gaze

To feed a starve'd mind

As food to life compared

Yet still
-
You pine

-

Egal Bohen






Comment on Shakespears Sonnets: LXXXI





And so

In truth

Hath uncreated eyes

Read words of life

Immortal

Long  since writ

Eternalised

By thee Dear Will

Alone

By thy imaginative

Wit

Comment of Shakespeare's Sonnets: XCVIII


Indeed
-
This beauty Will doth scribe
-
Is beauty true
-
Such that it casts a shadow 'cross the world we view
-
That beauty
-
Seen by eyes on Earth
-
Takes on cold Winter hues
-
Compared to that
-
Seen in his heart
-
In
-
Summer
-
Loving you

Beauty comes in many forms..









Beauty

Comes in many forms

The Glitter in life's game

Intoxicating

Beauty

To sublimate our pain

Defined

Itself

By

Nature

Out of ugliness

A

Name

Comment on Shakespeare's Sonnets: XC






And so it is that petty grief is easier borne
-
Midst times of woe
-
As life itself with fortune breaks
-
And greater trouble overwhelms it's puny form
-
That loss is lost
-
Within itself
-
By loss 
-
So great


Egal Bohen


Comment on Shakespeare's Sonnets: LX



Whats given free is taken
-
Free away
-
That born of time may come

But doth not stay
-
Life's gifts it seems

Are given by Time's hand
-
And such it is 

They never long shall stand
-
And yet

Just simple words
-
Where all began
-
Endure
-
For they support 

A grander plan..
