    history. Sexuality is only a surface desire though. What lies beneath the surface is where a person’s true beauty rests.

    Development of Sonnets The development of the sonnet form was originally made as a love poem by the Renaissance Italian poet‚ Francesco Petrarch. It is always the case with immortal writers that they invent forms in response to their strong need to express ideas and emotions for which they cannot find an existing form.
