Foreword
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
To
O how much more doth beauty beauteous seem
By that sweet ornament which truth doth give!
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odor which doth in it live.
The canker-blooms have full as deep a dye
As the perfumed tincture of the roses,
Hang on such thorns, and play as wantonly,
When summer's breath their masked buds discloses;
But for their virtue only is their show,
They live unwooed, and unrespected fade,
Die to themselves. Sweet roses do not so;
Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odors made;
And so of you, beautous and lovely youth;
When that shall vade, my verse distills your truth.
Sonnet 54
William Shakespeare

Author's Note: Happy Valentine's Day to all! This hasn't been edited yet, but I realized I have a history paper due in two days so I had to cut the editing and writing process short!
