L
et 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.
- Oh, no, it is an ever fixed mark
- That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
- It is the star to every wand\'ring 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.
William Shakespeare
Sonnet 116
