William ShakespeareAll days are nights to see till I see thee, And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.
About This Quote
In this poem, William Shakespeare captures the bittersweet feeling of mingled joy and sadness. In the first stanza, he emphasizes how all days are nights to see, a reference to the fleeting nature of life. In the second stanza, he regrets that he can't see his love in dreams anymore. The entire poem reminds us that while we have the opportunity to be with our loved ones—to touch them and see them—simultaneously that brief time is one of great loss.
