Sonnet 130, by Shakespeare, is an "anti-petrarchan" poem, meaning it is not about the ideal but rather about a real woman and how the speaker loves her anyways. Our gradnap day reminded me of this poem as the guys were truly scary-looking women, for "if hair be wires, black wires grow on [their] head[s]" and "music hath a far more pleasing sound" than their voices when they tried to be feminine.
