As the lover apostrophizes Time‚ one might expect him to address "old Time" as inconstant‚ for such an epithet implies time’s changeability. But inconstant also suggests capricious‚ and the lover finds time more grave than whimsical in its alterations. With the epithet "devouring" he addresses a greedy‚ ravenous hunger‚ a Time that is wastefully destructive. Conceding to Time its wrongs‚ the

    Poems used: John Keats’ ’On the Sonnet’ 1848 If by dull rhymes our English must be chained‚  And‚ like Andromeda‚ the Sonnet sweet  Fettered‚ in spite of painéd loveliness;  Let us find out‚ if we must be constrained‚  Sandals more interwoven and complete  To fit the naked foot of poesy;  Let us inspect the lyre‚ and weigh the stress  Of every chord‚ and see what may be gained  By ear industrious‚ and attention meet;  Misers of sound and syllable‚ no less  Than Midas of his coinage‚

    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.

    • 3 Pages

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"
