The Friday 56: Sonnets


The Friday 56 is a bookish meme hosted by Storytime with Tonya. It's really easy (and fun!) to participate.


*Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
*Turn to page 56 and find the fifth sentence.
*Post that sentence (plus one or two more if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section below.
*Post a link back to this blog and Storytime with Tonya.
*Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST!

Here's mine from The Art of the Sonnet by Stephen Burt & David Mikics:

Fortune our fancy-God, to vary liketh,
Place is not bound to things within it placed,
The present time upon time passed striketh,
With Phoebus' wandering course the earth is graced.

    Hi!
    Sounds interesting. I'm not fond of poetry, but only because I don't understand it most of the time. Have a great day!

    Nice, it almost reads like a riddle.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
