Sonnets

Sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeares sonnets are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love. Some of them are written to a young man, some of them to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, what was his sexuality - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.
