This butt-ugly site (and I say this as someone who apparently thinks there can't be too much orange on a web page) publishes each of Shakespeare's sonnets along with a first level of "what this line says" commentary and a whole bunch of further analysis. The home page is hard to parse, but it gets better when you hit the sonnets themselves. (Note: I am not a Shakespeare expert and can't vouch for the scholarship.) The site is generous in ways into the sonnets, allowing text searches, giving an index of first lines, etc. There's also a companion site for Pushkin's poetry, which has translations of his work but no commentary. Thanks to OxQuarry for providing all this. Generous indeed. [Technorati tag: shakespeare] Posted

'butt-ugly'? Come on! I justifiably call all white bg sites that. Thanks for allowing margins in that colourkiller to be nudged beyond the edges here.
