Shakespeare’s Sonnets (106)

The thing that annoys me the most is the fact I was doing to well on the first one and a word I knew I actually messed up on! I knew it was too good to be true!

1. Sonnet 106

When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme
In praise of ladies dead, and lovely knights,
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty’s best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express’d
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And, for they look’d but with divining eyes,
They had not skill enough your worth to sing:
For we, which now behold these present days,
Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.

When I was younger, I never thought an actor would be a career path I would have chosen; if someone came up to me and said I'd be an actor when starting college I would have just laughed it off and never took that person seriously. However now my past self has gone completely out the window and all I have to say to her is good riddance!
