Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sonnets on Music, and Other Poems Significant Silence. My violin in orchestra I play, And as I help to swell the glorious strain, The music so inspires my striving brain, That intricacies bring me no dismay. But bars of rest upon my spirit weigh, For easier 'tis to do than to refrain, And of the measured silence I complain, While passive, yet alert, my hand I stay. Life's silences when we, unwilling, rest, Are difficult! Yet could we understand By our inaction, music is expressed In the world symphony, divinely planned. There's meaning in our quietude; each soul Bears but a part in the harmonious whole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Incorporating definitive texts and authoritative notes from William Shakespeare: Complete Works, this unique volume also includes an expanded Introduction by Jonathan Bate that places the poems in literary and historical context and illuminates their relationship to Shakespeare’s dramatic writing. Also featured are key facts about the individual selections; an index of the first lines of the sonnets; a chronology of Shakespeare’s life and times; and recommendations for further reading. Ideal for students and general readers alike, this modern and accessible edition sets a new standard in Shakespearean literature for the twenty-first century.
