And it finishes on, "If this be error and upon me proved, / I never writ, nor no man ever loved." (By the way, the link for this sonnet has some interesting analysis under the poem.) In it, Shakespeare says what love is by examining what it is not.
So many great sonnets could've made this list, but this is a favorite of mine. " Sonnet 116," by William Shakespeare.The poem is about love remembered and turns on the line, "But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you." Bittersweet, this poem ends with Love fleeing and hiding "his face amid a crowd of stars." " When You Are Old," by William Butler Yeats.It begins, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." And well, the rest of this sonnet counts the ways, ending with, "I shall but love thee better after death." Loving beyond this life is pretty epic. " How Do I Love Thee?," by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
