I am a Chinese lady and have been exposed to these sonnets recently. Interestingly I get obsessed with them immediately, reading them out loud. I love singing and that is just another form of singing for me chanting these lyrics-like sonnet...and your explanation helps me to grasp the meaning of these sonnets. thank you very much!😄
Thank you so much! Keep up the good work and helpful explanations. I listened to Patrick Stewart read this Sonnet but couldn't understand it. I got a link to this video immediately, and after watching your explanation I feel much more confident.
Mr. Huff, line 2 ends with long “i” sound in “die” and line 4 ends with short “i” sound in “memory”. Would they both be labeled B? Is this called eye rhyme or slant rhyme?
good analysis but bad advice in my opinion. shakesperes time did not suffer t6he ravages to the earth that overpopulation has brought. People, pl;ease stop having babies and focus on improving yourself. its okay to love yourself otherwiise you'll just dump all your shit on your children anyway....the poetry itself is sublime
