Sonnet 18是英国文学史上最经典、最受欢迎的莎士比亚十四行诗之一。Sonnet 18讴歌了人类美和创造力的不朽，以及诗人与时间的较量。以下是Sonnet 18完整诗文：
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
下方是一张美丽的风景图，以此致敬莎士比亚之作。
