William Shakespeare Sonnet 109
Sonnet 109 What is love? Is there a true definition of it? A dictionary says love is an intense affection for another arising out of kinship or personal use. A symbol to represent love would be a heart between two lovers of any race, gender, and age. A song to introduce love would be numerous due that many song-writers write love songs. A poet might say love is just love. In this sonnet of William Shakespeare, he is deeply in love. He cannot do anything without her. So therefore, I believe William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 109 is saying love is beautiful and uncontrollable. “O, never say that I was false of heart, though absence seemed my flame to qualify. As easy might I from my soul which in thy breast doth lie. That is my home of love; if I have ranged…” In those sentences, William Shakespeare is trying to tell his lover to not lose faith in him. Even though he was gone, he did not have an affair nor think about another woman. When he left his lover, he felt alone and hopeless without her. He could not wait to come home to feel her love and to hold her in his arms. “Just to the time, not with the time exchanged, So that myself bring water for my stain. Never believe though in my nature reigned. All frailties that besiege all kinds of blood, that it could so preposterously be stained…” William Shakespeare lost me with his Old English Literature in these sentences. I believe he is trying to correct his mistakes because, he is confessing his unfaithfulness as a young man of his past to his lover. Williams Shakespeare could also be trying to warn her that he might be the right man for her even though he feels like he is.
“To leave for nothing all thy sum of good, for nothing this wide universe I call, save thou, my rose; in it thou art my all.” He made perfect since in these lines with Old English. No matter the language or how old the language is, you can always tell when a guy says you are his everything. William Shakespeare has his all in this woman. He can’t
