“Rival Poet” by William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare had a muse, known as the “Fair Youth”
Shakespeare promised he would eternalize the beauty of the “Fair Youth”
To do that, he used poetry 📝
“As long as my poems live, they will give life to you.”
He promised the “Fair Youth” would live inside poems forever 🕯
Shakespeare was a savior until… the Rival arrived
🪄 The Rival, an unknown poet, gave the same promise, and his poems drew the Fair Youth’s attention away from Shakespeare
He wanted to make the “Fair Youth” eternal
Then the Rival arrived—and made Shakespeare temporary ♾️
