The correct way would be: While she was sleeping, the alarm kept ringing in Jamie's ear.

<u><em>While</em></u> contains the element of duration and it is better to use a progressive form.

<u><em>Sleeping</em></u><em> </em>is a verb that has duration, so it should not be conjugated in the past simple if there is a simultaneous action.

Answer:

This is Shakespeare's Sonnet 45.

In this sonnet, he finds himself in continous fluctuation between joy and sorrow. This is as a result of the absence of the one he loved. His thoughts were always moving to and fro between him and his love.

Actually, this sonnet relates to his previous sonnet. He finds that his thoughts and desires are not so much in himself, as with his beloved (hence present-absent.)

Substances were said to be made up of fire, air, earth and water. But when a substance is deprived of two of them, air and fire, (the other two) which correspond to thought and desire, the body responds and sinks into melancholy and decay.
