What can be said about this exquisitely beautiful sonnet poem that hasn’t been said ? — and more eloquently than my barren words can do so.

Bill Wallis’s dulcet, mellifluous tones add even more to it in the reading.

One of The Most Beautiful Poems of All Time

classic shakespeare sonnet that still feels moving today. the imagery of summer and beauty tied with love is simple yet powerful. definitely one of those pieces that never loses impact. i liked how the words still feel relevant centuries later, showing that emotions like admiration and love never really change. truly one of those works that stays unforgettable
