Question:
What is the defination of true love?
What are the qualities of true love shown in the poem?plz help.................
"Let me not to the marriage of true minds (Sonnet CXVI) "
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
-- William Shakespeare

It doesnt change or stop even when that which it loves does. (Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:)
When they fight? (That looks on tempests and is never shaken)
or grow old. (Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:)
It last forever and always, (even to the edge of doom.)
