SONNET NO:116 by William Shakespeare is about love in its most ideal form.

. It is praising the glories of lovers who have come to each other freely, and enter into a relationship based on trust and understanding. The poet makes his point clear from the very first line that true love always perseveres, despite any obstacles that may arise. He goes on to define love by what it doesnt do, claiming that it stays constant, even though people and circumstances may change. Love never dies, even when someone tries to destroy it. Rather than being something that comes and goes, love is eternal and unchanging so much so that the poet compares it to the North Star, which never moves in the sky and guides lost ships home. This metaphorical star is mysterious and perhaps incomprehensible, even though we can chart its location. Moving on to a new image, love isnt at the beck and call of time (or times consequences, age and death); mortality isnt an issue for true love, which doesnt fade even when youth and beauty disappear. Love doesnt change as the days go by; rather, it remains strong until the lovers dying day (or beyondchew on that for a while). Finally, the poet stakes his own reputation on this definition, boldly claiming that if anyone can prove him wrong, hell eat his words. That is to say, if this idea of love turns out to be wrong, then hell take back everything he wrote and itll be as though it never existed. Furthermore, if this specific portrayal of love is somehow proved to be the wrong one, then nobody, as far as the poet is concerned, has ever loved at all.

True love is eternal, infinite,pure and always like itself. It is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.

"Death can not stop true love, it can only delay it for a little while."
