    alive is not easy. One knows that life eventually comes to an end‚ but does love? Time passes and days must end.

    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

    Ethan A. Proffitt ENG 243 Phil Ferguson 11-17-14 Sonnet 130 William Shakespeare’s 130th sonnet is perhaps the most intriguing and conceptually bizarre. The majority of his sonnets on the subject of women detail how lovely and fair they are‚ or how he is unable to serenade them (often because of a superior man); this particular example is an utter contradiction to his other female-based works. The central idea of the speaker here is to describe the appearance of his love interest to someone else‚
