Poetry is a common medium for people to express
love. Sonnets are almost always about love.
William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73 " is no
exception. Set-ments of love along with those of
against and death are expressed through the use of
figurative language. The poem is organized in such

In Elizabethan Age, the sonnets had advanced into
a form with new metric and rhyme scheme that was
departing from Petrarchan sonnets. Yet,
Elizabethan sonnets still carried the tradition of
Petrarchan conceit. Petrarchan conceit was a
figure used in love poems consisting detailed yet
exaggerated comparisons to the lover's mistress
that often emphasized the use of blazon. The
application of blazon would emphasize more on the
metaphorical perfection of the mistresses due to
the natural objects wer...

Merriam Webster Middle Ages

Shakespeare's sonnet LV entitled "Not marble, nor
the gilded monuments" is a well-crafted poem. In
the first line Shakespeare uses a word, namely
gilded, that can mean more than one thing. I also
found this word of interest because I had never
heard of it. In the Merriam-Webster dictionary to
gild can have six different meanings; (1) to
overlay with or as if with a thin covering of
gold; (2) to give money; (3) to give an attractive
but often deceptive appearance to; (4) to make
bloody; (5) to ad...

Comparative analysis of poems by W. Blake and W.
Shakespeare Someone has said that everything
genial is very simple. However, some people would
also argue that the more difficult the poem is,
the more valuable it becomes to the reader. In
their poems, both William Blake and William
Shakespeare were able to unite simplicity of
expressions and complication of symbols into two
beautiful poems. These poems are rather different,
if compared to each other, as are their composers.

Tichborne Elegy Nature Imagery Life

Carpe Diem Tichborne s Elegy by Chidiock Tichborne
and Sonnet 115 by Edna St. Vincent Millay are two
romantic poems that use nature-imagery as a
metaphoric expression. The events inspired to
write these poems were the loss of a loved one and
the loss of one s own life. Even though the poems
are two totally different situations, they both
express the importance and similar outcomes of
life and how it is relative to nature. In
Tichborne s Elegy, nature is used to give the
alternative, yet dreary o...

Idea Of Love Kind Of Love
1,384 words
Daniel wrote a conventional love sonnet using the
traditional Petrarchan style of putting the idea
of love, or the mistress, on a pedestal.
Shakespeare turned these ideas on their heads by
portraying a mistress who was by no means special
and most certainly unappealing. In comparing
Daniels Sonnet 6 and Shakespeare's Sonnet 130, I
have come to the conclusion that Daniel s and
Shakespeare's ideas of the perfect lady and of
true life on the most part differed. During
Daniels time there was a tradi...

Roller Coaster Di Yanni

Essay on Keats When I have fears In his poem When
I have fears (Di Yanni 714), John Keats attempts
to put into words the human emotions felt when
dealing with death. I believe that Keats wrote
this poem to describe the natural order of
emotions he went through while thinking of his own
fate. The tone of the sonnet takes a roller
coaster course throughout the poem from one
quatrain to the next. With careful examination one
can see that Keats used the first quatrain to
describe a state of utter co...

limited application, the term describes visible

Poets must utilize many tools and techniques to
create a mood or convey a thought. Metaphor,
simile, spacing, form, voice, and setting are all
