Unfortunately most people only know Shakespeare because they
were required to read his plays in high school, but he also wrote
over a hundred sonnets, which are short 14 line poems, they are
some of the best love poetry in the English language. The initial
coordinates of this cache will take you to the Shakespeare Garden,
a great place to sit and read some great poetry. In fact this
garden was designed to immerse you in Shakespearean imagery as
every flower in the garden is mentioned somewhere in his body of
work. I've chosen 7 sonnets for you to read, and after reading them
you should know where the final cache is. The sonnets don't have
titles so traditionally they are referred to by their first lines.
First on your reading list is "Take all my loves, my love, yea
take them all." Follow that up with "Betwixt mine eye and
heart a league is took." Then have a look at "That you were
once unkind befriends me now," and then read "When forty
winters shall besiege thy brow." I really think they will
multiply your enjoyment of each other when read together. Next on
your reading list is "That time of year thou mayst in me
behold," which is one of my favorites. Then "That god
forbid, that made me first your slave," and finally finish up
your reading with "Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye."
Alright, enough reading! Go get your reward!
