    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. It is rather dull and brings no sense of joy.                 In sonnet 69‚ the type of figurative language that is being used is hyperbole; which helps create emphasis. In Stanza 2‚ the line “like the red beginning

    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.

    What different attitudes to love can be found in sonnets 116 and 130? In sonnet 116 it defines love‚ by telling both what it is and is not. In the first quatrain Shakespeare talks about what love is not. Shakespeare says that love is “the marriage of true minds” which is a metaphor for true love‚ ideal and perfect love. Shakespeare uses the word “minds” rather than words like “hearts”‚ he does this to let us know that perfect love is a partnership of the two thinking. Shakespeare then goes on

    Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet 20’ This sonnet has been the subject of much debate as academics theorise for and against the possible homosexuality of Shakespeare‚ as per the sexual connotations present in the sonnet and the way Shakespeare plays with gender. However‚ the way in which one interprets poems of any kind is highly subjective. Consider‚ for instance‚ a poem on love: the poet cannot be claimed as being an expert on love and its merits‚ and oftentimes a poem is not necessarily based on a personal

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

    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‚
