Both The song of wandering Aengus and Sonnet 43 express the theme of love.
<u>Explanation
:</u>
The song of wandering Aengus written by William Butler Yeats is on the surface a very simple poem with Yeats describing himself as venturing into a forest to be at peace with himself. In the forest, he catches a silver trout and as he is preparing to cook it, he is mesmerized by the glimmering girl, the one he has fallen in love with and chases but is unable to catch her as she is not real, just a fantasy. The poem presents a picture of unrequited love.
Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth Browning also conveys the intense love that the poet has for her beloved. The love goes beyond the physical and enters the spiritual realms. It is pure, unconditional that survives death.
