February 4, 200521 yr I don't attend them. However, I do read poetry often. In my English class I had to know this sonnet by Shakespeare by heart and I know it. CXVI Let me not to the marriage of true minds, Admit impediments. Love is love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandeing bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height to be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. I know this sonnet and a few other by heart. I think they're all good.

BTW: I must say that I think I can now understand what Shakespare is trying to say when he turns English into Chinese.
