I have been reading Shakespeare's sonnets. I have always had a problem with Shakespeare, like most people I expect, but I thought maybe I could get into him via his poems. I did like a couple of his sonnets. There was Let Me to the Marriage of True Minds, which I remember we did at school, and When in Disgrace in Fortune and Men's Eyes that Rufus Wainwright set to music (I like the version sung by Florence Welch). Thing is, I remember the meaning of of the first one because we did it in English class, and I was motivated to study the second one because I liked it as a song. As for the others, even though I understand most the words, I feel I'm missing the point. Perhaps I shouldn't be reading them ten at a time.
