Watermark
Shakspeare's plays are full of a large number of exquisite songs, and his sonnets glowing with passion and sensitiveness to beauty reach the high watermark of poetic excellence in English literature.
I know the meaning of watermark but that meaning doesn't work in this context. Will anybody, please, explain it to me?

Hi True, a watermark is a mark on a piece of paper that shows its origin or maker, maybe. That doesn't make sense in the context I'm pretty sure your writer means "high water mark". That's the highest trace that water has left, for example, on a sea wall - if there's been a very high tide.
