Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no! It is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. Sonnet 116 is probably one of the most famous Shakespearean sonnets. This sonnet was first published more than four centuries ago, back in 1609. Despite the difficulties, love should stand.
How can something as deep and obscure as love be defined? True love is not based on looks, of course, and that is why Sonnet 116 establishes that “rosy lips and cheeks” don’t last in time, but true love does. The original spelling version.

Comment: “Grandsires” is pretty much just an archaic word for a male ancestor; the concern seems to be with love and nostalgia. I remember a wedding columnist talking about how she met her husband. She mentioned that when they first met, something of him reminded her of her childhood, and he mentioned later on a date that something about her reminded him of his childhood. So it doesn’t seem to me that “we outgrow love” is necessarily a cynical statement. I mean, those are the sorts of things that get stuck in the drawer and don’t get looked at again. It has to be love generally: “like other things” could very well be defining love, not just describing love outgrown.
I guess the irony is “wore” – were we wearing the love earlier truly, or are we wearing love when we are costumed grandsires ourselves?
