Sonnet 116

William Shakespeare, 1564 ~ 1616

If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved

The Gemstone Line
How does it sound? Why does it work?
The poem
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove.

Give the gift of love!
