Shakespeare sonnets (Literature/Poetry) Sonnet 2: When forty winters shall beseige thy brow

[@daultonbaird6314]

This gives me the feeling that life was truly brutal in Shaky's day. Forty is a breeze now.

40 winters will pass next year for me!

It's better 1 line at a time for people who have learning difficulties

I have to read this in drama class

It seems to me it would be better to have the whole sonnet displayed while it's being read/recited; and maybe highlight the line he's on(?)

When your friend tells you he doesn't want to have kids.

It's about growing old

It’s a beautiful sonnet, but I don’t agree with its premise in some places. Obvious fact 40 is the new 20 in our times aside, I know many wonderful people who, for whatever reason, remained childless. They are some of the coolest people I know who will leave a great legacy behind. And then there are those who have kids and perhaps are not fit to be parents.
