So I read the poem by William Shakespeare as assigned, it was entitled "Let me not to the marriage of true minds". I really liked the poem. I am happily married, have been for 28 years this year, I believe my husband is my solemate, I know he is my best friend. I was so pleased with the poem of how everlasting true love is. A poem about marriage and fidelity, it was moving and beautiful. Sometimes the younger couples forget that a marriage is a commitment, its a throw away society, true love everlasting is rare, multiple marriages are common. "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." What conviction, what a beautiful poem, how strong must good old Will feel about his true love to write such a poem, how strong is the commitment he feels for his wife? "I never writ, nor no man ever loved", NOW THAT IS CONVICTION.......I bet you can tell that the bubble part is coming soon can't you? So I write on the black board how impressed I am in the strength of old Wills love, how beautiful was the poem I read.......Then the bubble.....Professor says, its a great poem, amazing it was written by a man who was said to have cheated on his wife..WHAT????? duped again...how many times do we believe these public outbursts of love and fidelity? Why do they feel they need to post that which is not true, I guess it starts from the top....the assurances of innocence."I did not have sex with that women"....A certain golfer who did not cheat on his wife...a vice president candidate who "DID NOT" father a child while his wife was dying......oh sad sad sad...et tu William???
