One cannot read Shakespeare’s Sonnets coherently without understanding the framing story, which is based on Arthur Golding’s translation of the story of Narcissus and Echo from Ovid’s Metamorphoses.

The quotes in captions are a selection that demonstrate the direct link between the tale of Narcissus and Echo and Shakespeare's sonnets; they are copied from my modernized translation of Golding's text.
