Love's not Time's fool,
though rosy lips and cheeks

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

ordinary speech, means something very pronounced, and as a rule witty or

Judging a poem is like judging a
pudding or a machine. One demands that
it work. It is
only because an artifact
works that we infer the intention of an artificer. "A poem should not mean
but be." A poem can be only through its meaning-since
its medium is words-yet it is,
simply is,
in the sense that we have no excuse for inquiring what part is
intended or meant.

"To begin, then, with Shakespeare. He was
the man who of all modem, and perhaps ancient poets, had the largest and most
comprehensive soul. All the images of nature were still present to him, and he
drew them, not laboriously, but luckily; when he describes anything, you more than see
it, you feel it too. Those who accuse him to have wanted learning, give him the
greater commendation: he was naturally learned; he needed not the spectacles of
books to read nature; he looked inwards, and found her there.”
