Petrarch's Sonnet 18 is about Laura, her beauty and his incapability to describe her beauty in a proper way. His love for her is an impossible one, and he uses repeatedly negative words and phrases to state clearly that her beauty is impossible for him to describe, <em>"unsung...in my rhyme".  </em>He hasn't got any possibilities to make a proper description of her beauty, nor to describe her brightness. So he uses negative word and phrases to strenghten  the idea of his inability to make a suitable portrayal of her, because her beauty is such that it exceeds his chance to describe it. He hasn't got the <em>strength </em>nor the <em>genius</em>.
