Sense and Sensibility

(the pic is not related to the posted message...? mmm...)


Yes, the movie... haven’t read the book yet.
Watched the movie on TV last night.
I won’t comment on anything. This is not a review.

Jane Austen is not in the list of my favorite writers. Neither is William Shakespeare.
But this one's really cute. It was read/spoken by a character in the movie...

“…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...”
(Sonnet CXVI: Let me not to the marriage of true minds by William Shakespeare)
