Sonnet 2 by William Shakespeare describes the aging process and the importance of procreating in order to leave one’s mark both physically and mentally.

When reading Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s "Sonnet 32" I noticed that this was her only sonnet of the four in Sonnets From the Portuguese that wasn’t written directly for another person.
