«Одним із перших, хто збагнув світову велич творчого генія Лесі Українки, був Михайло Грушевський. У вступному слові до матеріалів, опублікованих у «Літературно-науковому віснику» за 1913 р. і присвячених пам’яті письменниці, він писав: „…Вже перші 10–15 літ поставили її в перші ряди сучасної поезії.

Without a doubt the most important of Shakespeare's nondramatic works, the sonnets have engendered reams of scholarly disputation as to the identity of «the dark lady» and the «lovely boy» to whom the vast majority are addressed.
