I missed yesterday's installment, so here are two. The second one illustrates that Spenser could be really kinky when he wanted to be.

I do love these sonnets.
I wonder if anyone nowadays is crafting with words the way the Elizabethans did? They seemed to take such delight in playing with the language, twisting and stretching it to fit their images.

Thanks for posting them up, hon, it's really appreciated!
