The ''lines'' can also be seen as a descendance, the sonnet recommending to procreate in order to save this beauty of theirs. It's a common theme in the sonnets written to or for this person.

It would be wonderful to see you dedicate a series of analysis to Shakespeare’s sonnets...if I had more teachers like you I would been a Shakespeare fanatic by now! (Better late than never!)

[@kylej3257]

What a poem. Excellent analysis. I am always struck--in a society so bent on esteeming and exonerating Change (watch any BBC nature documentary)--by how fundamental our desire for eternity seems. We would have to close our eyes to the obvious import of poems like this one in order to value Change as the central significance of life (as does the BBC nature documentary "Life"). Nothing against BBC documentaries; I'm wonderfully addicted to them. But the poetry of the everlasting is undeniable. I would love to see a follow up video analyzing Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale," to see these two poems in conversation about art. Keep it up!

listening to this b4 my class on New cristism. the contrasts and the unity of this poem is in this. the contrast of comparing the subject of the sonnet to something temporary yet telling that they are eternal makes this sort of unity in the end especially in the couplet.

[@loriechase8878]

This is wonderful, Thank you It came to me while listening to this, that perhaps he was keeping "himself" alive...more so than this person he is writing about. He wrote so many sonets about different things he experienced or understood. I'm not familiar with much shakespeare, nonetheless what I have been exposed to makes me feel this way. Like maybe this one says, I loved so deeply once, in a moment I(he) felt so deeply. I've had experiences like that.. they never last.. They fade..until it happens again. I guess I should read more of his work before having an opinion. All the same, this was great and you should do more.. just like everyone else suggested. I really needed this today .. again, thank you.

Sonnet 1. Dropping soon...

[@devinsparkman6688]

Thine own eyes turn to beauty Death cheats us all Him or her cry for life Death is tall, death is captivating Shall we go to the market, or maybe? Questions in life never escape me I found thine own love on the carpet mat Poetry ever fades death But what if she doesn't love me? What if life ceased to exist? Then I would be forced to plea, I would be made a nasty feast Death waits for his turn Beth really never got a chance (This is just a general idea. I wish I could write like him! But I think that we are all special in our own way. It's important to explore passion. I think that Shakespeare defend beauty over death, resulting in a life that never fades away. Yet, death does not allow us to sway...)
