Excerpt from book back cover: "It was the genius of Shakespeare that beauty and truth sprang from whatever he touched with mind and pen. Each of his sonnets, songs, and poems is a masterpiece to be read, savored, and re-read with wonder and delight. The sonnets are the greatest short poems in the English language. They were written to be enjoyed. They have come to be cherished and loved. Shakespeare's songs are as fresh and sparkling as clear morning dew, as merry as a lark's note, as haunting as a moonbeam. He displays in his longer poems the same dramatic insight that has made his plays the priceless treasures of literature. There is nothing we can say to make these poems greater than they are. Each stands as its own immortal monument." "For we, which now behold these present days, Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues in praise."
