What are sine ways in which Shakespeare's plays and sonnets still live today?
Shakespeare's plays are performed every day all around the world. His sonnets are read by people all of the time. Lines from them are quoted by English speakers constantly. His work is much more alive than the work of many authors writing today.
Who are sonnets 127-152 of shakespeare about or for?
In the absence of direct evidence from the author, we can only theorize on the answers to this question, based on other available information.
There is much evidence to suggest that Sonnets 1-126 were addressed to Shakespeare's patron, Henry Wriothesley and that they represented correspondence between the pair. There are also several peculiarities of their publication, in 1609, with Sonnets 127 -154 and a longish poem, A Lover's Complaint. Taking all into account, it becomes probable that Sonnets 127-154 were similarly supplied by Shakespeare to his patron and that they deal mainly with their mutual girlfriend, a dark-haired and dark-eyed woman (who, so far, is not yet identified beyond reasonable doubt).

What are all the lines of Shakespeare's sonnet 18?
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Shakespeare is describing his love to all the beautiful things, and yet there no word to describe her. He listed the beauty of the nature and their beauty will fade away, and so will the lady eventually. But because of true love, this does not matter to him. Also because he wrote this sonnet for her and because this sonnet will last forever, so will her beauty..with in this poem, have eternity. Basically the quote is beauty can't last forever but the person will always be beautiful to you though.
