There was much speculation that Shakespeare took a African woman of negro decent as his true love. And, though there was much aesthetically different about her to the women of his time in his dwellings, his love for her was a true and strong and pure as a mum with a newborn child. His sonnets about her were said to be his only recourse of declaring his love publicly to her. A desperate, maddening love masked behind living words.
Thanks, mate!  His sonnets also represented a big turn, away from Petrarchan sonnets because they didn't glorifiy a woman's beaty, but much rather pointed out the imperfections, yet expressed love to that woman despite the imperfections. Yes, exactly. She also apparently breaks his heart time over as she gives her love to other men (they are not exclusive..though methinks he would wish it so). This ode (sonnet) to the Dark lady..is meant to be a parody of traditional love sonnets well known by Petrarchand used by Sidney. He mocks it in a light manner, rather showing the simplicities of his lover, than glorifying and painting her in a unreal or unmatchable light. A rejection to popular practice. He does however, embrace the Petrarchan structure in ending of one of his sonnets to her. Thanks!
I passed my English State Exam today. It works this way:
The teacher submits three versions of the exam to an institution and they pick two of them. In our exam we then have the choice between the two they have picked. The third one, that is not picked, well nothing happens to it, it might be submitted next year.
Well...
Out of the three submitted versions, the one on Shakespearan sinnets wasn't picked, but the other two (one on biotechnology, the one I actuially went with then and one on illegal immigration). _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

You can read more about it in my reply to Cian. Overall, it went pretty well, but as I mentioined earlier, English has never been a worry of mine. I got bored halfway through the exam today and really didn't want to write anymore  In the end I forced myself to. I expect a pretty good results, though.
Now on Friday, I have a Math State Exam ](*,) _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Great news Artur! Congratulations.
Too bad about the Shakespeare sonnets exam. I was looking forward to reading your paper.

OK Mir I'll tell you like it is. Like most guys here, I was mildly jealous of you because all the ladies find you interesting and you are effortlessly charming to them.
But you complimented my sig in Box Office Bash. So all is good. Carry on being a chick magnet.  I can live for 3 weeks off one compliment.

I also find you to be a clever and well spoken bloke. You're tops in my book thus far.
Jealous?  Is that really how the blokes here feel? 
I don't want to only be a chick mag....I want :Respect: ....lol..but I guess I'll need to be around and participating a lot more for that. _________________

Well I was sort of kidding about the jealous part but you do charm them. It's all good. As for respect, hell I was impressed with your shakespeare posts recently even though it was small, I didn't know you knew all that kind of stuff.

I am well versed in many areas, but I just don't express it that much here. _________________
