Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds

1. After watching a lot of love dramas, I don't think the love in it is so touching and profound. Not so pure, a little helpless. The younger sister has experienced the storm and finally understands the compromise, and the love of the elder sister can be called thrilling. At that time, women could not work to support themselves. If they didn't have a beautiful face or a greedy dowry, the life of the young ladies would not be easy. If I hadn't met Edward by chance, if Edward's fiancée hadn't fallen in love with someone else, my sister might have been alone in this life. Although the ending is a happy reunion, novels are novels after all. How many victims of the era are there in real life?

2. I learned about the limited inheritance rights in the United Kingdom. In fact, it is not necessarily that only men can be passed on to women. First, not all land enforces this rule, and second, it depends on the wills passed down from generation to generation by landholders.

3. Shakespeare's sonnet16, Kate read it so beautifully.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

If it can change easily, how can this love be called true love?

If I say anything wrong, I'll pretend that I've never written poetry, or that no one in this world has ever loved.
