12. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou are more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee Shall I compare thee to a summer ’ s day Sonnet 18

In the world─I am told to climb the high mountain On the road in spite of the difficulty For dream I tell myself to maintain Top under the foot,in front the heaven Clouds fly by my face,and I want to catch I get nothing.Suddenly my dream broken With winds they escape out of my reach In rough winds I run crazily Higher mountain prevent I stop and think quietly Am Ion the top or the foot Neither can be proved Where is dream.I am puzzled
