Farewell Love
Sonnet: Farewell to Love by Michael Drayton

The speaker in this poem is someone who is letting go of someone he loves. It achieves it purpose by letting us in on the bleak existence throughout the depression. This poem makes me want to behind this mans door and see what is really happening in his world. I have sorrow for the man in the poem relentless to let go of his parents’ judgments. He makes us feel that there is much more going on, on the inside than what he lets us in on, on the outside. If he meets his former love again he does not want it to show that they had once loved one another. He uses the judges as metaphors for his parents’ judgment. And then he went to the store dhksfhs fkhdkhgdskghjdhgkdsjhg dsghdskghdskghdskjg hdgkjshgkjdshg sdkhgjdshgk jdffhkjdsgh kdshgdkjshgkjsdgh ksdgjhdkjghdskgjhd ghdjghdkjhg dhjd ghdjkhgdkjh gkdhgj sdhgksd gjkdsh gkjhgkdshg sd ghds gh ghdskgh dksgh dshg sdkgh dshg kdsghsd gk gkdh gksh ghds ghsd ghksd ghsk ghdks ghskd ghsdk gkhd gdhg dshkg kds gksd gkhd gkhds gkhds gk dkg dksg dkss kd k sd dd d d d d dkhsdkjgh sdkgh dghksdgh dskghds kghdksg hskdhg dkgh dgkdhg kdghds kdhs kdgh gkdhg kdh kdhg dkhg dkghd khg dhkgd ghkdgh dkghdkg hdkghd ghkdgh skdhg hdjghdjskdj gshdjgh skdjghskjd ghskd gkhsdg sgsg g g gds gdsjg dskjh gdkjghd skjdgh kjdgh skjgh skgjshd kjgdh ksjdh skjgdh skjghd kdgjhs gkdh kjh khjh jkhkjh jkhjh kjhkjh hkjh khk hk hkjh kjhkjhkjh kh j kjh khj jh kjh khjh kjh kjh kjh kjh kjh kjh kjh gkjh ljkhg hgjh gjkj hggjkj fgfghfhfghf fhgf gf gf ghfghfghfgh fghf hf h k f khgf hgf hfhgf hf hgfhgf fhgfhgf fhgf hgf fgh fhgf

    This poem struck me with its vivid description of the hard life that people during the Depression suffered. This is not just a story of the burial of a child. This is a window into the hardships of a generation of people. The landscape is drawn as a harsh, barren land that chips away at plows. Poverty is blatant from the father having to steal the wood for the grave marker, to the mother sleeping on a corn shuck mat in the shack that they lived in.…

    I sense that the speaker is a male. I get this feeling from the way he hides his pain. Concealing your feelings is often considered the masculine thing to do, and the speaker does this throughout the entire poem. He is writing about a past experience in his childhood. I sense that the poem comes from an outside perspective, yet not too far out. The speaker is not the one doing the fighting, but, perhaps he is watching it–living it–as the child of two disputing parents. The stanza "certain doors were locked at night, feet stood for hours outside them . . . " indicates to me that the speaker was a child when this took place. He watched as his father stood outside the locked bedroom door, shouting to be let in. He watched as the dishes piled up in the sink and his mother was too occupied with the fights to clean them. These are the images that the poem puts into my head,…

    This poem is written in third person narrative by an ominous voice telling the fathers thought process. The narrator begins the poem saying, “Sad is the man who is asked for a story and can’t come up with one.” This intro not only gives us a foreshadowing look onto the poem, but tells us the emotions the father feels given to us by the all knowing narrator. He tells us the dad is sad that he can’t think of a new story which shows us that he just want to please his son and in turn portraying love.…

    The true beauty of this poem for me, and what makes it so enigmatic, is the mutual recognition in a person, between two moments past and future, of one's frame of mind at the other moment. We are so long in time, that such connections are very, very rare, and to have a moment of empathy with one's future or past self is both to gain a momentary insight into the nature of life and aging, and to momentarily gain a new internal context to how we perceive the aging of others, and what it really means to…

    The sonnet begins with the words, “Thou ill-formed offspring,” demonstrating
the speaker’s perilous and somewhat despised attitude towards the book. Albeit, the following line shows a polar sense of indebtedness of the book’s blind allegiance with the words: “Whoafter birth did’st by my side remain.” No matter how terrible the book may be or how negative the reaction of critics, the book will always remain loyal to the author. The metaphorical semblance of a mother simply cements the loyalty of such a bond. However, the binary opposition between love and
disdain continues throughout the poem, and likens to the complex relationship between mother and child. This antagonism between love and hate symbolizes a mother’s cold-heartedness towards a fetus she perhaps did not desire. However, the birth of the child, like the publishing of the book, softens the mother’s heart and she finds comfort in the unquestionable loyalty. The opposition and eventual changing of heart bolsters both sincerity and loyalty, solidifying the poem’s tone.…

    This poem shows an honest look at the truest emotions of people. Almost everyone has experienced the story within this poem; saying something during a time of pure hatred towards another that they will most surely regret in the future. They know that their feelings must be heard, but do it in a most inappropriate way. The woman, in a fit of rage wrote a letter to a soon to be ex-lover. She knew her mistake of writing such a harsh letter, but there was nothing she could do after she gave it to the postman, other than go to her father.…

    In this sonnet, the poet conveys a theme of grief as he meditates on past woes and losses but is ultimately comforted by the thought of a "dear friend" (13). The pensive poet reflects upon memories of the past, causing him to regret his failure to achieve all that he wanted. With old woes recalled, he grieves over having wasted precious time. He then weeps, although he seldom does normally, for dear friends who have died and are lost to death's eternal night. He cries once more over former love's heartache that has long since healed and laments the loss of faded memories and loved ones. He continues to grieve over past griefs and sadly recounts his woes with a heavy heart. This sad remembrance causes him to grieve as if he had never done so before, despite the fact that he has. A shift in the poem occurs in line 13 and ends with a touching statement as the poet remembers a dear friend, perhaps a lover, while grieving. At the thought of this friend, all of the poet's losses are compensated and his sorrows come to an end. Shakespeare uses alliteration such as "sessions of sweet silent thought" (line 1) and "old woes new wail my dear time's waste" (4). Imagery of the poet's sorrow is portrayed with the use of words such as ”sigh”(3), “new wail”(4), “drown an eye”(5), “weep afresh”(7), “moan”(8), “grieve at grievances”(9), “heavily”(10), “sad”(11), and “fore-bemoaned moan”(11). This sonnet begins in a peaceful, pensive tone and seems as though the poet is choosing to dwell and mourn of over past events that he has grieved for before. This gives him some degree of control over his grieving and may even suggest that he finds pleasure in doing…
