Shakespeare & Millay

In Shakespeare's poem Sonnet 116 you can see the admiration Shakespeare has towards love and its meaning for him. As he expresses that love can not change even though it confronts many issues sometimes, it still remains something eternal. Using a metaphorical term he shows us that love seems to be like the north star. Its there but we can never explain it. In "What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why" the sonnet seemed to be much more in depth. The author portrays a sort of loneliness feeling as she thinks alone in the rain. This poems also includes love but in a sexual more aggressive way as she remembers when she wasn't  alone and had company in her past with men. Both poems are fascinating, actually my favorites out of all we've read. The authors truly capture your heart and make you wonder off to their worlds as you read.
