Shakespeare’s Sonnets

by William Shakespeare

A hundred and fifty-four sonnets on love, time, beauty and betrayal, addressed to a fair young man and a mysterious dark lady. Nobody knows who either of them was, which has never stopped anyone guessing. Start with 18, 29 and 116, and then read the rest.
