A Brief-comment

The Sonnets is a collection of poems which totally contains 154 love poems written by William Shakespeare. The whole book can be divided into 2 parts: in the first part, the author enthusiastically praised his so-called "friendship", which was very close to agape and philia, I think, with a young nobleman; the second part strongly expressed his love to a "Dark Lady", which can be interpret into eros or philia from my point of view. William Shakespeare created a brand new type of sonnet which has a strict structure. Such a pattern endowed his poems with a distinguished aesthetic taste and unique style. Among these poems, I am particularly fond of Sonnet 12, in which the author bemoaned that youth would not endure under Time's scythe and encourage his friend "Fair Lord"to brave it by "breeding". The metaphorical violets and trees stirred up a symphony which absorbed me into deep ponder of life and beauty. When reading this book, I was impressed by its beauty, and surprisingly found out that William Shakespeare was a so emotion-rich person. The impressive expression and the imaginative scene it depicted seemed to be a magic hand, which would help you put aside all the concerns and tiredness, and get you obsessed with it. Through that enjoyable reading experience, my interest in English literature was lit up quite a few times. Although the ancient English grammar puzzled me a bit at first, I gradually learn to admire this type of English, and had a little knowledge of ancient western culture. In general, I think, this book house me a lot in English reading and writing, and give me a chance to have a taste of western literature.
