My Mistress' Eyes by Shakespeare

[@mothertodaughter9383]

I wish you were my English teacher, thank you so much for posting this video for everybody!

[@SixMinuteScholar]

You're so welcome!!

[@tonicata5049]

I have fallen in love with this lady

[@brendacavalcanti2480]

Thank you for your great explanation! I'm non native english speaker and this really helps me to understand such treasures of literature

[@SixMinuteScholar]

I'm so glad!

[@SixMinuteScholar]

Thanks! Let's see . . . I start analyzing by rephrasing the line in my own words. For Shakespeare, I sort out the word order, too. If you "translate" the poem into your own words, you'll catch the main meanings. Then you can reread for the emotional message or the attitude of the language. You might need to look up some words as well. This will give you a good start!

[@nickhardt2486]

how is it possible, that I actually enjoyed hearing you explain it and now I feel appreciative towards it.

[@britneycabrera6723]

I love Shakespeare, I just don't always get his sonnets, plays on the other hand. So you have helped me a lot in this one. Thank you very much for that. :) I enjoy your videos. I say you are actually helping me out a lot this school year.

Sonnet 130: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.

What Shakespeare is saying in the modern idiom is "Let's get real ".
