"The Passionate Pilgrim" by William Shakespeare is a compilation of poems from the late 1500s that looks closely at love and all the tricky parts of being in a relationship. Written by a famous writer, these poems bring out deep feelings and show off Shakespeare's skill with words as he thinks about what love really means. The poems share different sides of love, from happiness and wanting someone, to sadness and a broken heart. The speaker struggles with loving feelings, showing both strong love and sadness when love isn't returned. Using strong images and beautiful language, Shakespeare catches the feeling of wanting someone, showing youth next to old age, beauty next to things falling apart, and how love doesn't last forever. In the end, this collection is a sad study of the confusing feelings of being deeply in love, showing the problems and hard times of the heart.
