To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I eyed,
Such seems your beauty still.
Thirty of William Shakespeare's romantic sonnets--which beautifully express both the ecstasy and agony of love in just fourteen lines--are accompanied by Caitlin Keegan's brightly expressive illustrations. Sonnet XVII ("Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?…"), for example, features a brilliant yellow sunburst, while sonnet XCVII ("How like a winter hath my absence been…") is printed on a wintry collage of icicles and snowflakes. This lovely little book of time-tested verse makes a wonderful gift for Valentine's Day, a wedding, or an anniversary.
