Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Thank you for that Sean. I've always loved it......When he gets to 'Sometime.....' and then the slight pause after.....it kills me everytime.

Wonderful. One of his magical, restrained guitar solos would have been nice to round it off!

Less is definitely more in this case Fergus; Shakespeare himself told me that ;)

Tell Willy when you see him next Dermot that he is wrong. I will even settle for Gilmour playing a lute!
