To celebrate the birthday of William Shakespeare, I’m sharing a few lines from my most favorite sonnet, Sonnet 116. I’ve converted a few of my friends to its cause, and I’m hoping you’re next. Cheers!

You can hear the entire collection in “Patrick Stewart Performs the Complete espeare” available now: bit.ly/PatrickStewart…
