It it similar to the ''favorite quote'' thred but with sonnets. Some of you do not like sonnets of Shakespeare. Infact, Shakespeare put in many.....adult like parts in his sonnets and plays that are sick humour. But, regaurdless of some of his....more sick-like sonnets, there are some in which I do like. Here you can not just post you fav. sonnet of Shakespeare, but if you can untwist his words so you can tell others what he means.
Here is a sonnet, if you think about it you might know where it is from.
Quote:
''Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life…''

It is not the whole sonnet but it is an excample. If you do not understand it I will tell what he means.
-''Two households, both alike in dignity,:Two families both equal in pride.
-''In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,:In Verona, where we rest.
-''From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,:Old grudges gives birth to new fights.
-''Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.:Citizens dirty their hands by their violence against fellow citizens.
-''From forth the fatal loins of these two foes:From parents of two enemy families come two children.
-''A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life: Destiny was for these two to love, only to die a fate in which was destiny.
