Poems 10/23
Both poems are very interesting for their simplicity and honesty. Shakespeare's concerned what most people would define as love for its consistency and Millay's poem was what I believed to be a person missing the intimacy of another person for a very long time. Not one specific person but just that human touch in general. Both had very simple ideas about romance that were expressed very artistically.

Yes, both speak of romance. But what do you make of Shakespeare's speaker saying "marriage of true minds"(1)? What kind of love occurs in the mind?
