It was the poem my best man read out at our wedding. My husband's Best Woman, read out an e.e.cummings poem. I think we really confused the guests.

Oooh. What e.e. cummings poem?

I think I would have loved your wedding.

I always wonder who this sonnet was written about. Who had the life that Shakespeare envied, if only briefly?

I have this one set to music, on my phone.
