    Anne Poindexter 11/18/12 English IV Mr. Tiller Analysis of Sonnet 81 William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 81 was meant to serve as an epitaph to immortalize its subject‚ a beloved youth.

    Sonnet 69 was written by Pablo Neruda in the 20th century.  As I was reading the original sonnet‚ I was filled with inner joy and love.  The original sonnet brings profound feelings‚ flashbacks‚ and makes you and the sonnet feel as if one.  However‚ the translation of sonnet 69 does not.
