Sonnet 30 – William Shakespeare

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unus’d to flow,
For precious friends hid in death’s dateless night,
And weep afresh love’s long since cancell’d woe,
And moan th’ expense of many a vanish’d sight;
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o’er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restor’d, and sorrows end.

  2. I as well as my buddies appeared to be looking at the excellent ideas on the blog and so at once developed a terrible suspicion I never thanked the blog owner for them. All of the women happened to be for that reason passionate to read through them and have unquestionably been taking advantage of them. Many thanks for indeed being really thoughtful and also for deciding on these kinds of exceptional topics most people are really desirous to be aware of. My honest regret for not expressing gratitude to you sooner.

  3. Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! “A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.” by Oscar Fingall O’Flahertie Wills Wilde.

  4. Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long)
    so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m
    thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog
    blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced blog writers?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.
