The Sonnet Project........Final Part

The Sonnet Project...Part 3

PLEASE READ:

The project:

The project was very simply to see if I can get about 30+ YTbers to say 98 lines of poetry to piece them together to form 7 sonnets.

You guys will be the judge if it worked or not but I am thankful to all of them for taking time from their busy lives to submit the lines.

I was going to put an interpretive blurb here about each of the sonnets, but then figured each one should interpret these lines thru the lens of their own life's loves and circumstances.




Edmund Spenser Sonnet #75

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalize!
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eek my name be wiped out likewise.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name;
Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.

Shakespeare's sonnet #29


When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,--and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings'.
