Sonnet 148 EMS

In Shakespeare's Sonnet 148, we are told about love's eyes, and the mischief they play. The poem starts off with "O me", which immediately signals the distress that the narrator is feeling. Why is he feeling this distress? Because these eyes of love "have no correspondence with true sight", meaning that the visions that love gives are not what is real. The narrator first asks whether it matters that his vision is being altered, asking "What means the world to say it is not so?", meaning does it matter that his visions of love are not what other people see, as long as he sees it that way. He ends by calling love cunning for keeping him blind with its tears, and for hiding the "foul faults" of his lover that he would be able to see if not blinded by love.
