Sonnet 116; Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Let me not to the marriage of true minds is a poem in which Shakespeare describes love. He starts out by explaining that love does not alter when alteration finds. Meaning it does not change under any circumstance it is unconditional and it is like a fixed mark that cannot be removed. He goes on to say that when love encounters a hardship it bears the hardship and comes out alive, it will survive it. It does not last a few hours or weeks and does not let time change it. It is interesting that Shakespeare would describe love as something everlasting.
