The excerpts from Elegiac Sonnets by Charlotte Smith come across as very sad. From the four separate readings by her it is seemed like Smith was maybe depressed. Beginning with Written as the Close of Spring the beginning is beautiful with talk about flowers blooming and spring. Then‚ begging at line 9 it gets sad. She begins talking about humanity and how frail and fair it is. She is talking about how when we age we loose our youth and don’t bud anymore‚ as flowers do. The next excerpt in Charlotte

Dawson College Work presented to Mr. Roy Cartlidge English 101 10/18/06 An explanation of Sonnet CXXX The poem I chose to analyze is Sonnet CXXX (130) by William Shakespeare. This poem can be seen as either a humorous tribute to his lover or a way to mock other poets of his time. I say humorous because there is no use of over the top metaphors or allusions as he does not compare his love to a goddess nor compare her beauty to rare and beautiful objects found in nature.

the view that Shakespeare’s sonnet 116 is what a love poem should be: an expression of perfect love. The definition of perfect love is subjective‚ however it could be seen as fearless and endless love‚ with utter devotion and allowing nothing to get between the lovers. Sonnet 116 describes examples of these traits‚ in which love is described to be the most powerful force‚ and even stronger than "tempests" and other aspects of nature. The initial lines of the sonnet describe how "love is not love"

Explication of Sonnet 147 Love is a disease. Desire is deadly. When one thinks about Shakespeare’s sonnets‚ the instinctual response is the thought of romance. For instance the adoring lines‚ “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day/ Thou are more lovely and more temperate” (Sonnet 18‚ 1-2)‚ are thought to be the most famous words from a Shakespearean sonnet. However‚ instead of describing love in a starry-eyed fashion‚ Shakespeare discusses the punitive characteristics of love in Sonnet 147. The persona

“Sonnet CXXX” is a spoof of the typical love sonnets written by Shakespeare’s contemporaries. It ridicules the senseless depictions that poets gave their lovers whereas in comparison the speaker in “Sonnet CXXX‚” illustrates his mistress with honest comments. These remarks declare her “true” character and show the speaker’s absolute and total adoration for her because of it. As the poem opens‚ in the first quatrain‚ we are introduced to the narrator’s‚ “I”‚ “mistress.” This term however‚ is not
