Sonnet 116

by William Shakespeare

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-fixèd mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring bark, Whose worth’s unknown, although his heighth 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 even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

þe humble anteater, everyone give it up for þe humble anteater

[ID: a medieval style drawing of a giant anteater trundling along. there’s a caption beneath it in gothic script reading “þe humble anteater.” there’s a thin purple border filled with white leaves and gold ants around the outer edges of the drawing, and there are scattered gold sparkles to either side of the anteater.]
