Sonnet en

But these two sonnets show that no matter the time and society, one¡¯s love towards another has always been passionate through out history. In contrast, William Shakespeare ridicules the physical appearance of his mistress by using words such as ¡°if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head, I have seen roses damask¡¯d, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks¡¦. ¡± (Lines 13-14) He is saying that his art was motivated by the woman he loved but his desire and passion for art has run out due to the loss. The ¡°Sonnet 130,¡± later gives out the meaning when the author says ¡°I love to hear her speak¡± (line 9).

It is clearly shown that the two sonnets differ greatly in form, tone, and meaning. Although they differ in style, they both follow the iambic pentameter. ¡± (Lines 4-7) Although these words doesn¡¯t give a beautiful and heavenly tone, it sets the sonnet up for the meaning. In contrast, in ¡°Sonnet 292,¡± the author grieves for the loss of his love.

Secondly, the two sonnets differ in tone. His sorrow feelings are well shown in the lines ¡°the vein of my accustomed art is dry, and this, my lyre, turned at last to tears. He is stating that he loves her uniqueness, and for whom she is, not for her physical appearance. ¡°Sonnet 292,¡± like many other sonnets, it idealizes the woman by using words such as ¡°the waving hair of unmixed gold that shone, the smile that flashed with the angelic rays that used to make this earth a paradise¡¦. I believe that this is due to the different time and society the authors lived in. The author also gives a little moral lesson to the readers that people shouldn¡¯t love based on looks but for what they really are.
