William Shakespeare
Lived from 1564-1616. This poem was written in 1609. The poem addresses a sub-theme of the section: the adequacy or inadequacy- of the language to describe a lover. Shakespeare's speaker in "Sonnet 18" seems to believe that nature falls short of his love as a source of comparison.
