Reading Sonnet 104 by William Shakespeare (Читаю сонет 104 Уильяма Шекспира).

#Поэзия ‘To me, fair friend, you never can be old’, also known as sonnet 104, is one of the 154 sonnets written by Shakespeare during his lifetime. It is part of the Fair Youth sequence of sonnets that are dedicated to a beautiful young man. This particular poem speaks on themes of age, beauty, and the future. ‘To me, fair friend, you never can be old’ by William Shakespeare addresses the facts of ageing and the possibility that the Fair Youth is effected just as much as anyone else is. The poem is addressed to the Fair Youth, who is throughout the text complimented on his beauty. He seems not to have aged the whole time the speaker has known him. Over the last three years, he has remained just as fresh and green as when they first met. But, the speaker acknowledges towards the end, he knows this can’t be the case. All people age and time moves so slowly that he just can’t see it. The final two lines are addressed to future generations. He tells them that when they are alive, the most beautiful person to have ever lived will have already died. Подписывайтесь! Ставьте лайк) ??? Делитесь в соц. сетях!! Subscribe! Put a like) ? ? ?
