To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Mr. Gerald Massey's interpre- tation saves Shakespeare's reputation ; but these Sonnets are capable of a better vindication. The highest ainor amicitice of which man is capable is directed to God. Now any one who reads Sonnets 40-42 will see that they are as applicable as the Song of Solomon itself to the stage of divine Love. If God deprives a man of an object of earthly affection, either by taking it to Himself or by rais- ing in it an affection to Him which supplants and extin- guishes all h...uman loves, the only permissible feeling in man is that which Shakespeare formulates in these three Sonnets, They contain a genuine and unassailable analysis of love, though the disagreeable nature of their first and obvious meaning rather tempts the common observer to neglect examining the real depth of their truth and beauty.
This stage of love ends with a short series of three Son- nets, 43-45, which bring to light the unsatisfactory nature of this merely imaginary love. It is shadowy and unsub- stantial.
