Sonnet 26

by William Shakespeare

Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage

Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit,

To thee I send this written embassage,

To witness duty, not to show my wit:

Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine

May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it,

But that I hope some good conceit of thine

In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it;

Till whatsoever star that guides my moving

Points on me graciously with fair aspect

And puts apparel on my tatter'd loving,

To show me worthy of thy sweet respect:

Then may I dare to boast how I do love thee;

Till then not show my head where thou mayst prove me.

    More than sixty years ago, Christopher Robin took his friend Edward Bear - who came to be known to millions of fans as Winnie-the-Pooh - by one chubby paw and brought him unceremoniously downstairs. Pooh had endured, still slightly rotund, a Bear of Very Little Brain, but very generous of heart: the immortal creation of A. A. Milne, who wrote this book for his only son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave Pooh and his companions shape. 

    The adventures of Pooh and Piglet, Owl, Trigger, and the ever doleful Eeyore are timeless treasures of childhood. These tales still speak to all of us with the freshness that distinguishes true storytelling.
