    Sonnet 1‚ by W. Shakespeare From fairest creatures we desire increase‚   That thereby beauty’s rose might never die‚ But as the riper should by time decease‚ His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou‚ contracted to thine own bright eyes‚ Feed’st thy light’s flame with self-substantial fuel‚ Making a famine where abundance lies‚ Thyself thy foe‚ to thy sweet self too cruel. Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament And only herald to the gaudy spring‚ Within thine own bud buriest thy

    Essay – The American Sonnet The ‘American Sonnet’ is not like any other sonnet‚ and is proud to be different. Billy Collins opens his sonnet by saying‚ “We do not speak like Petrarch‚ or wear a hat like Spenser‚ and it is not fourteen lines.” This illustrates straight from the beginning of the sonnet that he wants this sonnet to stand out as an original sonnet in terms or the writing techniques‚ the sonnet structure‚ and the elements used in it. “But the picture postcard‚ a poem on vacation”

    to show that he is not a Petrarchist it is enough to compare his sonnets with those of Watson‚ Barnes‚ Fletcher‚ Daniel‚ Drayton and other contemporaries: their superiority is seen at once with the certainty that they do not come from the same source of inspiration. Besides‚ Shakespeare did not follow all the rules which Petrarch constantly applied‚ although perhaps he may have read‚ if not all‚ at least some of Petrarch’s sonnets. We say so because we are of the opinion of those who think that Shakespeare

Where‚ alack‚ 10 Shall time ’s best jewel from time

    "Sonnet 106" is one of the sonnets William Shakespeare wrote.

    Both Spenser ’s Sonnet 75 and Shakespeare ’s Sonnet 19 similarly claim to bestow immortality upon the beloved. Despite similar themes‚ however‚ these sonnets contrast sharply. Spenser ’s sonnet ostensibly reports a conversation between the poet and his beloved‚ whereas Shakespeare ’s sonnet directly addresses personified time‚ and shows the greater dramatic flair. Spenser ’s first two words‚ "One day"‚ eschew drama by setting his poem in a vague and unparticularised past. Line 1 tells
