The Test of Time: An Analysis of Shakespeare’s Sixtieth Sonnet “You may delay‚ but time will not‚” remarked American inventor Benjamin Franklin. Franklin suggests that the relationship between people and time is a distant one because time is indifferent of the humans who rely on it. If one imagines himself walking alongside time‚ the natural rhythm of two moving together does not apply; if the person chooses to slow down‚ time will continue at its own pace regardless of its partner’s decision.

The piece that I have chosen for this assignment was William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18. At the very first line‚ it is apparent that the metaphor that he chooses‚ is a "summer’s day‚" to describe his friend or loved one. For the ease of explanation‚ I will refer to that person using feminine pronouns‚ due to the fact that the gender of the person is not explicitly stated; I would believe it is assumed to be female.
