From You Have I Been Absent

Zardon · May 30, 2004, 04:27 PM

From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April, dress'd in all his trim,
Hath put a spirit of youth in everything,
That heavy Saturn laugh'd and leap'd with him.
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue,
Could make me any summer's story tell,
Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew;
Nor did I wonder at the Lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermillion in the Rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
Yet seem'd it Winter still, and, you away,
As with your shadow I with these did play.

I listened to a talk show in the UK recently on BBC radio 4, and some research showed up, shakespeare was in fact only 1 of a group of writers (cant remember the name of the group now), and that alot of his work could in fact be collaberated work.
