Lise Horton finds The Romance in the Words.
Here is
her favorite Sonnet.
SONNET 29
by William
Shakespeare
When, in
disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone
beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf
heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon
myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like
to one more rich in hope,
Featured like
him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this
man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most
enjoy contented least;
Yet in these
thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on
thee, and then my state,
(Like to the
lark at break of day arising
From sullen
earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet
love remembered such wealth brings
That then I
scorn to change my state with kings.♥
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR: Lise Horton was a graduate
of Skidmore College with a degree in Education, and since has worked in jobs as
various as diamond grader, theatre union assistant, bartender, and legal
assistant in one of New York City’s premier entertainment law firms. In a
previous creative incarnation, she was an award-winning cabaret singer in some
of Manhattan’s iconic clubs. She attributes her depth of insight in romance
fiction to that experience. “There is nothing quite as magical as seducing an
audience with magnificent songs of love and longing; drawing them into the
story and making their hearts yearn right along with yours”. Those years helped
fuel her desire to create and share torrid stories of love and passion as a
romance author. Her recent BDSM erotic romance release, HOLD TIGHT, has been
nominated for a 2016 Golden Flogger Award. She will be presenting her craft
workshop, “A Feast For the Senses: Effective Use Of Sensory Description In BDSM
Fiction at the 2016 BDSM Writers Conference” http://bit.ly/1KWNT18
. Lise can be found her in all her naughty incarnations at www.lisehorton.com.
