Sonnet 44

Sonnet 44

By: William Shakespeare

If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,
Injurious distance should not stop my way;
For then despite of space I would be brought,
From limits far remote where thou dost stay.
No matter then although my foot did stand
Upon the farthest earth removed from thee;
For nimble thought can jump both sea and land
As soon as think the place where he would be.
But ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,
To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,
But that so much of earth and water wrought
I must attend time’s leisure with my moan,
Receiving nought by elements so slow
But heavy tears, badges of either’s woe.

~Morgan~

  1. hearts can connect, provided, they understand that minds can be interfered with, and it’s the battle of heaven and earth, just keep the heart in position and it’s your game as they say, the heart being God’s domain, have a great day, amen

      1. so is the love that is taking is back from the edge, it’s great to think hearts can move mountains, pity they don’t teach this way in school, with passion
