BHS Chorus How Like a Winter

"Shakespeare’s famous line from Sonnet 18:

"Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade…"

Earlier in the same sonnet, he asks:

"Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?" — and in contrast, winter in Shakespeare often symbolizes barrenness, aging, or hardship.

If you mean “How like a winter hath my absence been”, that’s actually from Sonnet 97, where Shakespeare writes:

"How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!"

Here, he’s saying that being apart from the person he loves feels as bleak, empty, and lifeless as winter, even if the actual season is summer or autumn. It’s about the emotional “winter” inside him." - Chat GPT
