Shakespeare is asserting that Sonnet 18 could quite as easily be about the woman’s comparison to anything beautiful because she is more dazzling‚ or "more lovely"‚ as Shakespeare asserts in the second line when he begins his comparison‚ than any other beauteous object or concept in the

    Sonnet 116 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
