I love taking pictures. I try to give mine an artistic flair, but mostly I think they only turn out so-so. I was looking through some old pictures I took, and I found this one- I completely forgot I had taken it. I was walking along the beach one evening during a trip to Scotland and found a heart shaped rock. I decided to embellish it a bit and this is what happened.

Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,Or bends with the remover to remove:O no! it is an ever-fixed markThat looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeksWithin his bending sickle’s compass come:Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,But bears it out even to the edge of doom.If this be error and upon me proved,I never writ, nor no man ever loved. ~William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116
Very nice piece of poetry and I knew it was Shakespeare inside of the first two lines. Don’t you have to wonder about such a deep love to have inspired such writing? I am not familiar with the history as much on the sonnets – was this for his wife? Or was this the wishing for such a love that lead him to put such words to paper?
