        <description><![CDATA[There are several ways to define the moral of this poem. One might be-be grateful for what you have and quit wishing for more. The speaker appears to be unsatisfied with what he is given. He wants a host of things he does not have, but envies in others-a wealth of friends, money, or admiration.The speaker finds relief from his state of hopelessness by discovering that his worship of his beloved is his source of happiness. The speaker had spent...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[An author is never the “speaker” of his poem but rather constructs a voice, a persona, which acts as the speaker.  It is similar to an actor playing a part:  the person who is the actor and the character he portrays are not the same.  There are many figures of speech in the poem, both metaphors and similes. These include “deaf heaven” and “bootless cries.”  The former personifies heaven, suggesting that no one hears what the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[All of Shakespeare's sonnets were published in 1609, and  they were probably circulated in manuscript form since about 1598.  The composition of sonnet cycles--and Sonnet 29 is part of Shakespeare's sonnet cycle--was in vogue at the time, an imitation of Petrarch's famous cycles to Laura. Many English poets at this time were writing sonnets.  Shakespeare developed a form slightly different from that of Petrarch, and this came to be known...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Any two sonnets?  How fun!  Well, I'm going to focus my answer on the idea of love persisting "despite time's ravages."  Two of the best sonnets ever written on  this topic are Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 which says, "Love's not time's fool" describing a love that can survive anything: "that looks on Tempests and is not shaken." Another sonnet on this topic (also by Mr. Shakespeare) is Sonnet 55 which looks at the power of the poem itself to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The audience in this sonnet is the speaker's lover, though the thoughts are penned in solitude rather than spoken to the lovers' face.

It is not until line 10 that we see redemption for the troubled speaker.  In the opening lines, he is miserable:  'When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes/I will all alone beweep my outcast state."

Continuing on in this self-deprecating vein, he wishes (line 5-8) to be "...one more rich in hope/Feathered...]]></description>
