Me too! I love the idea that real love embraces faults and loves despite them.

I read the wikipedia page about the sonnets, and they seem to suggest that whoever this woman is, he didn't really love her or she was actually off-putting and unattractive.

Wow, someone really failed to understand that sonnet. Did they totally miss the last couplet, or what?
