In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>C) Writing about people serves to immortalize them. It is the central idea of both sonnets. Spencer is aware of the "vanity" of his attempt to immortalize a mortal thing, that is, his beloved. But he nevertheless wants to do it, knowing that a poem about their love will make this love immortal and alive, many ages after they are both gone. Shakespeare also seeks to tear his beloved off from mortal fate by writing about her. All beautiful things eventually fade out and die, he says; but poetry transcends this life and its limitations, so it's the only way for the two of them and their love to live eternally.
Both Spencer and Shakespeare think highly of their loves. But there is one thing that outshines even love, and that is poetry. It is like a window from which we can at least peek into eternity, if we are not able to live in it.</span>
