Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day? (Sonnets XVIII)

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.

-- William Shakespeare

Summer and its long days of sunlight amd afternoon nature plays of breezy shawdows and musical cleansing thunderstorms will leave us soon for the crisp air of autumn. Summer leaves us with a sense of whimsy and memory of childhood's play.

So often we sew out of practicality (more choice in color, fabric, fit), artful sensibility (an emotional attachment), sustainability (green sewing), or just plain economics (saves money). Sometimes it is just plain satisfying to sew out of a sense of whimsy!
