  4. Loveโ€™s Best Habit: On Shakespeareโ€™s Sonnet 138

    Ask a room of readers which of Shakespeare's sonnets is the greatest and the same three answers come back every time: Sonnet 18, the summer's day; Sonnet 116, the marriage of true minds; Sonnet 73, the yellow leaves. Those answers are accurate the way election returns are accurate. Ask which sonnet is the most beautiful and the most honest at once, and the room goes quiet, because that question is a confession booth. What comes back tells you what the reader wants and what the reader is willing to admit. Mine now is Sonnet 138, the one that begins with a woman swearing and a man pretending. I say now because it was not always so, and I would not trust a reader whose answer never changes. The road here runs through changes in tone and taste, in wants and abilities, in hopes I no longer have, and the road is the subject of this essay. A reader's favorite sonnet is a diary entry with the lock broken off. [โ€ฆ]
