This collage mainly represents the
period between wars, where there was a little hope for life, but desolation,
political problems and lack of food prevented thinking about that perspective. The feeling of revenge caused
resentment in the people, because many people died, this is represented by
means of the solitude.
Sonnet Analysis
SONNET 25
Let those who are in favour with their stars,
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye;
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for worth,
After a thousand victories once foil'd,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd:
Then happy I, that love and am beloved
Where I may not remove nor be removed
Bold font: High tone
Italic: Low tone
Structure
- First quatrain:
Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
This part talks about people who think they are better than others for their accomplishments and love to tell others; And also of people who are just the opposite, do not like to presume their achievements are more humble. It's a comparison.
- Second quatrain:
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die
The sonnet
continues to refer to such overbearing people that if people do not take them
into account, they do not feel anyone and they look for someone else to listen
to them. They remain arrogant.
- Third quatrain:
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foil'd,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd
This part speaks of the moment in which the egocentric people for more followers that they have, will arrive a moment in which they will fall and will simply be forgotten by all.
- Couplet:
Then happy I, that love and am beloved
Where I may not remove nor be removed.
In the end
you can notice a resignation on the part of the author when he says that he can
not change what becomes as an acceptance towards this way of life.
