Shakespeares Sonnets :: William Shakespeare
There has been some dispute whether or not the sonnets are real scripted by William Shakespeare,the strongest argument for this is the phrase BY.OVR.EVERLIVING.POET., in which some, the most worthy being the entertainment lawyer and writer Bertram Fields, argue that this would mean the author would be dead by 1609, while William Shakespeare lived until 1616.1The 154 songs were most likely written over a period of several years and published in the 1609 collection.These were all in sonnet form and previously unpublished, with the exception of poem number 138 and 144 which had been p dodge of The Passionate Pilgrim, released in 1599.sonnets 18-126 tell the allegory of young man and the poets admiration and love for him, while 127-152 are intercommunicate to the poets mistress. In this es narrate we go away look at sonnets 18, 116 and 130 and what they say about love, and see if they share similarities with each other.2Sonnet XVIII (18)Sonnet 18 speaks of love in its purest form i t is obvious that the author has heavy(p) admiration for the person the sonnet is addressed to, giving the subject an close to god-like and complete(a) status.If we look at the two first linesShall I par thee to a summers day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate.It is clear that he cannot use a summers day as a comparison, because the person is better than a summers day.He goes on to develop how a summers day is not perfect, saying thatRough winds do hasten the favorite buds of May and And summers lease hath all to short a ascertain. This is believed to mean that even a summers day has its faults, in the start of summer on that point can be rough storms that distort the mantrap of darling buds and summer does not last for ever.At the end of the sonnet there are some very important lines, which speak of eternal living and beautyBut thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou owst,nor shall final stage brag thou wanderst in his tone of vo iceThis can be seen as a promise that he will never die and be forgotten, nor will he lose the beauty which he owns. The last line could be a biblical type Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me3, even though death has taken him, his beauty will burn like a beacon and light up any rightness death may have cast upon him, thus giving eternal life.
