Although romantic poems are not my favorite, I somehow like this one, which is apparently one of the most famous sonnets by William Shakespeare. The poet’s love is recorded in his verses eternally or forever, but the question is whether or not the readers of this poem can truly recognize and appreciate the poet’s beloved’s beauty reflected in this sonnet. I admit I’m being too critical, yet I believe only the poet himself can genuinely understand and admire the beauty of his beloved as, in fact, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
