William Shakespeare beings his sonnet with the question, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" Only to answer his own question explaining, the beauty of a person compared to a summer's day would not do justice. "Thou art more lovely and more temperate...And summer's lease hath all to short a date." For this person is more beautiful than summer; and summer will soon come to an end as all seasons will. Yet, this beautiful, lovely person will not lose their significances.
"Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed." The bright summer sun can be dimmed by clouds. As everything considered beautiful will lose the attraction."And every fair from fair sometimes declines,By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed." Nothing can keep it's beauty forever, in Shakespeare's mind. Time and natural will take it course.
However, within the third section of Shakespeare's sonnets, he backs up what he had written in the first section. "But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest, Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade. When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st. For death can not even stop him now; and the beauty live on forever within the lines of Shakespeare's words.
To end Shakespeare answers his own question; "for long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and gives life to thee." One person's beauty can give one the motivation to keep going. Love is all, is you can find love you are a lucky person, but love is hard to hold on to.
