Sonnets 18

Can I compare you to a summer day?

You are more lovely and gentle.

The wind shook the lovely buds of May,

The lease in summer is too short. four

Sometimes the eye of heaven shines too hot,

His golden complexion often darkens;

Every market sometimes declines,

Accidental or natural process of change, without pruning; eight

But your eternal summer will not die,

Nor will you lose the beauty you know.

Death will not boast that you wander in his shadow,

When you grow up in eternal poetry. 12

As long as human beings can breathe and see,

This is eternal, which gives you life.

I can compare you to summer.

You are cuter and gentler than summer;

Strong winds will blow the buds of May to the ground,

Sometimes the sun is too hot,

Often darkens his golden face;

Good things are bound to fall,

Accidental or natural changes and cycles. eight

But your eternal summer will not fade,

You won't lose your handsome appearance;

If you gain eternal life in this immortal poem; 12

appreciate

Most Shakespeare scholars believe that the sonnets from 18 to 20 are the extraordinary beauty that the author praises his friends.

At the beginning of this poem, I used buds and the sun in summer and May, which are the most beautiful things in time and space. Compared with friends, I think everyone has certain limitations, not as good as friends. Generally speaking, friends are cuter and gentler than summer. Specifically, summer flowers-flower buds in May are easily blown off by strong winds, and the sun in summer is too hot and often shaded. In comparison, it is pointed out that all beautiful things will inevitably fade with the passage of time and natural changes. Although you are better than Hua Er and xia yang, your beautiful appearance is still in danger of being eroded. What should you do? Poetry is eternal. Only when you are written into my poem will you get eternal life in this immortal art. Your handsome appearance will not disappear, and your eternal summer will not fade. As long as people can breathe and feel, they will appreciate your beauty from poetry, and even death can't praise you for walking in his shadow.

This poem is good at contrast, rigorous in structure and multi-level. First of all, it compares Xia with Friends, and then, due to the limitations with xia yang, it leads to the beautiful appearance of Friends, which will change with nature. Only poetry is immortal, and only in poetry can you achieve eternal life.
