Welcome to the home of the original William Shakespeare Sonnet-a-Day mailing list. We've been publishing this list for over 5 years now and it is currently received by over 120,000 subscribers. This list is published in conjunction with The Literature Network which spawned this list in the first place. For more on Shakespeare you can visit the William Shakespeare page.

We've found that people are generally more comfortable with a less than daily mailing, so the list is only mailed out 3 times a week, and this page is actually only updated 3 times a week. Currently the RSS feed mirrors this, however we plan to offer a second RSS feed for people who would like a more accelerated pace.

Please note that we've recently changed newsletter providers. If you subscribed before January of 2006 you should resubscribe and reconfirm your subscription. Simply enter your email address in the box to the left. You should then receive an email from Aweber.com (make sure it doesn't end up in your junk folder, you'll need to approve mailings from Aweber.com) containing a link you will need to visit to confirm your subscription.

Sonnet #14
XIV.

Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck;
And yet methinks I have astronomy,
But not to tell of good or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality;
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell,
Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well,
By oft predict that I in heaven find:
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And, constant stars, in them I read such art
As truth and beauty shall together thrive,
If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert;
Or else of thee this I prognosticate:
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.
