Sometimes, even those whom we consider as our close friends may betray us so easily, in a moment when we do not even expect it. Such is the truth of life, despite so many eloquent odes humanity dedicated to friendship.

About This Quote

This is one of Shakespeare’s few poems that does not have a specific connection to a particular play or story. The only link for this poem is an oblique reference to friendship in Sonnet 116, which makes it seem likely that the author may have been referring to Pablo Neruda, a Chilean poet. The idea is that even those we consider our closest friends can betray us in a moment when we do not expect it. That’s just the truth of life, whether our friends are emotional or physical, and whether they are the source of our happiness or sadness.
