Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
- The first line of a sonnet by William Shakespeare . The poet notes that beautiful days and seasons do not last but declares that his love's “eternal summer shall not fade” because his poem makes his love immortal: “So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”
