This morning I shall finish.
I have only a few more faces to do - nothing that'll take too long. Giovaninno loves it already, anyway. Just a matter of finishing touches real

on All The World's A Stage by William Shakespeare, on February 3, 2004That the world is like a stage at the theatre, and that everyone in the world is therefore an actor

on Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind by William Shakespeare, on February 3, 2004Not so simple. He's saying that, compared to how cruel people can be, nature is nothing. Man's ingratitude hurts more than the cold wind, so therefore he doesn't mind the wind, not the sting of cold water, which is not as biting as a friend who doesn't remember you. Hence the chorus says that we should sing to nature and the holly because it's nicer to us than the folly of loving or the feigning (pretence) of supposed friendships. Enjoy life and nature, because otherwise people will get you down much worse than it can.

on Aubade by William Shakespeare, on February 3, 2004It's saying that morning has come, so everyone should pay attention. Phoebus is another name for Apollo, or the Greek driver of the chariot of the sun. Hence the reference to steeds in the next lines, since they need a drink as they set out dragging the sun across the sky for the day. The flowers open up, as do all the pretty things of nature, and so therefore he wants his pretty lady to wake up and rise as well.
Hope that helps.
For me, the best thing about this is the fantastic Olde grammar, and the simplicity of the metre and rhymes. The slight sense of a refrain at the end makes you want to sing it out almost. Someone was very much in love, it seems....
Beautiful poem - very hard to do it justice out of spanish.
Forget that - there's one here already. Entitled "Saddest poem".
