Emily Dickinson Love Themes

Time Of Year Iambic Pentameter
1,413 wordsMost of the 127 sonnets Shakespeare wrote to one of his close male friends are united by the theme of the overwhelming, destructive power of time, and the counterbalancing power of love and poetry to create and preserve beauty. Sonnet 73 is no different, but it does present an intriguing twist on this theme.

821 wordsAs a young poet, John Donne often utilized metaphors of spiritual bond in many of his Songs and Sonnets in order to explain fleshly love.

In many ways, however, his love poems and his religious poems are quite similar, for they both address his personae? s deep-seated f...
