The little Love-god lying once asleep
Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,
Whilst many nymphs that vow’d chaste life to keep
Came tripping by; but in her maiden hand
The fairest votary took up that fire

Cupid laid by his brand and fell asleep.
A maid of Dian’s this advantage found,
And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep
In a cold valley-fountain of that ground,
Which borrowed from this holy fire of love

Great achievement to work through the sonnets although I do think the commentators may be missing quite a lot of the meanings of the sonnets. Listening to 18 I did guffaw when the Darling Buds of May was referred to as a dodgy sitcom that David Jason did before he was Del Boy 🤣. Also don’t think Shakespeare was taking a duvet day and knocking out a lazy sonnet! So many layers of meaning not even glanced over but driven by at 100 miles an hour! To be fair I’ll listen to some more and maybe adjus... more

United Kingdom3 years ago - Not very educational
The two hosts spent too much time on competing who can read the sonnets more fluently, instead of providing more meaningful discussions. I agree a program on Shakespeare's sonnets doesn't need to be scholarly or esoteric, but it's obvious that the hosts didn't prepare themselves enough.
If you don't keep asking why and how (the literary contents, the historical social background, or even why as a reader you feel this or that way), then in the end you'd only get a program full of casual comments... more
