Shakespeare rejects the traditional
ideal of beauty, describing a darkskinned woman with black eyes and
an unrefined voice instead of
light-skinned goddess. He
emphasizes that true love doesn't
need idealization, focusing on
natural beauty.

summer's day, reflecting on time's
effects in beauty, but asserting that
poetry can grant immortality. The
