    Sonnet 146

    • 801 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Sonnet 146 is well known for its deeply intriguing religious aspect‚ as it is one of Shakespeare’s religious sonnets and almost the only religious one. It is religious as its tone mentions its concern with heaven‚ asceticism and also the progress of the soul all through out the sonnet. The idea that the poet was trying to convey to his audience is that the body exists at the expense of the soul‚ so that adorning or worrying about its beauty can only be accomplished at the souls expense. The poem

    When‚ in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes‚ When I’ve fallen out of favor with fortune and men‚ I all alone beweep my outcast state All alone I weep over my position as a social outcast‚ And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And pray to heaven‚ but my cries go unheard‚ And look upon myself and curse my fate‚ And I look at myself‚ cursing my fate‚ Wishing me like to one more rich in hope‚ Wishing I were like one who had more hope‚ Featured like him‚ like him with friends possess’d

    Sonnet 43 (Sonnets From the Portuguese) BY Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach‚ when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every day’s Most quiet need‚ by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely‚ as men strive for right; I love thee purely‚ as they turn from praise‚ I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs‚ and with

Shakespeare shows us how some love is eternal and will live on forever in comparison to a beautiful summer ’s day. Shakespeare has a way of keeping love alive in "Sonnet 18"‚ and he uses a variety of techniques to demonstrate how love is more brilliant and everlasting than a summer ’s day. The

    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‚
