Shakespeare Sonnet 55 (LV) on Parchment Photo Print
What would life be without poetry in general - or Shakespeare in particular?
A while back, I decided to make products using Shakespeare's sonnets, but I felt my design was a bit unfulfilled at the time, so I revamped it a bit to something more to my liking. Traditional yet original. The background is a parchment texture I made a while back, and I also found a calligraphic typeface for it that has the almost unique feature of having both historical gravity as well as modern legibility.
Obviously there are lots of sonnets to get through, so if you like this design, but cannot find your favourite work by the bard already made in it, please email me at mail@galleryhakon.com to let me know and I'll get to it right away.
This particular one is sonnet 55 (LV), which reads:
Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmear'd with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword, nor war's quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.
'Gainst death, and all oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So, till the judgment that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes.

Thank you to the Zazzle team.
I have purchased from you previously, and I have always been happy with the items I have purchased.
This is a beautiful poem, I love having this poem to read and to know that one day I will see my beautiful puppy dog again. I love the idea of the rainbow bridge.
I think all pet owners will understand the love we share and have for our pets.
This is a sad poem but in a happy way. I will read this every day and think of my puppy dog. The poem is presented beautifully, with a beautiful background, and high quality paper.
I'm very happy with how it turned out, and I love that it can be personalised with our pets name and their date of birth and passing.
To any pet owner who has lost their beautiful dog, I highly recommend this poem.
Thank you again for creating this beautiful and unique product.
