Shakespeare got it right.

I googled 'love' and the first result was The Love Calculator. How much more trivial can it get?! Shocking. And as expected the images results were hearts and roses. No surprises.


I came across this and I thought that as far as worldly love goes, this is a pretty perfect definition.




SONNET 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That 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 cheeks
Within 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.
