High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The idea of 141 is the discrepancy between the poet`s physical senses and wits (intellect) on the one hand and his heart on the other. Shakespeare describes a woman whose appearance does not elicit love (his eyes note a thousand errors in her appearance). Her voice is not pleasing to the ear (“Nor are mine ears with thy tongue`s tune delighted”); her skin not pleasing to touch (“Nor tender feeling”); and there is an unpleasant taste and smell to her (“Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited”). Yet his heart remains affectionately attached to her.
