Sonnets Sonnets: poems of 14 lines that begin with three quatrains and end with a couplet. The couplet usually contains a surprise ending or "turn." William Shakespeare is one of the most famous sonnet writers in history.
Sonnet 1 From fairest creatures we desire increase,That thereby beauty’s rose might never die.But as the riper should by time decease,
Sonnet 1 His tender heir might bear his memory:But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,Feed'st thy light’s flame with self-substantial fuel,
Sonnet 1 Making a famine where abundance lies,Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament
Sonnet 1 And only herald to the gaudy spring,Within thine own bud buriest thy contentAnd, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding.
Sonnet 1 Pity the world, or else this glutton be,To eat the world’s due, by the grave and thee. by Shakespeare
Sonnet 1 Interpretation The beautiful things in the world must reproduce themselves for the world’s enjoyment. Don’t be selfish by keeping your beauty to yourself. You waste your beauty by refusing to reproduce it.
