Summary:

This poem, also known as Sonnet 116, is one of Shakespeare’s most famous reflections on love. The poet defines true love as unchanging and steadfast, unaffected by time, circumstances, or physical beauty. Love, he argues, is like a guiding star that remains constant even in difficult times. It is not subject to the whims of fortune or the passage of time. The poet concludes by affirming that if his definition of love is wrong, then no one has ever truly loved. The sonnet presents love as eternal and unshakable, making it a timeless meditation on the nature of genuine affection.
