Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. They are very popular and loved by people all over the world. All of them were translated into different languages. Сонет 147: Любовь – недуг. Моя душа больна Томительной, неутолимой жаждой. Того же яда требует она, Который отравил ее однажды. Мой разум – врач любовь мою лечил. Она отвергла травы и коренья, И бедный лекарь выбился из сил И нас покинул, потеряв терпение. Отныне мой недуг неизлечим, Душа ни в чем покоя не находит, Покинутые разумом моим, И чувства и слова по воле бродят. И долго мне, лишенному ума, Казался раем ад, а светом – тьма !
