The speaker declares that his beloved’s loveliness will live on forever through his poetry, unlike the short-lived summer season.

<u>Explanation:</u>

William Shakespeare was well known for his poems, till sonnet 17 he talks about suggesting his love to procreate, so the beauty of the lover is carried generation after generation.

However, from sonnet 18, Shakespeare inks the beauty of his love using his poetry as he believes time kills the beauty. The speaker declares that his beloved’s loveliness will live on forever through his poetry, unlike the short-lived summer season.

"But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

These lines explains the function of time, a nature that kills another and cannot be stopped. There is no eternity to anything under the flow of time and therefore the poet decides to ink the beauty as his poetry can be read generation after generation understanding the beauty of his lover.

70 points What does mrs Bennett think of mr fitzwilliam Darcy
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: This quote shows how Darcy made a bad impression when he first met the Bennet sisters. At the same time, it also shows how quickly individuals can make snap judgments. A single occasion does not fully shed light on Darcy’s character, and yet after a single ball everyone rushes to judge him. They also misinterpret his shy and introverted behavior as evidence that he is stuck up and unfriendly. Even though Darcy has a great deal of wealth and social status, his personality still leads to him being widely disliked.
