Across 154 poems, a first-person speaker praises a beautiful young man, desires a dark-haired woman, and faces jealousy, shame, and the fear of loss. The question keeps returning: can words preserve what a body cannot?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the opening poems urging the young man to have children to the familiar question, “Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?”, beauty meets the pressure of time. A rival poet unsettles friendship, while the dark lady brings desire without comfort. Each short poem builds an argument, turns it, and finds its close in a couplet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeauty under pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover how praise becomes a plea against the changes that time brings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFriendship touched by jealousy\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet a speaker whose affection wavers as another poet wins the young man's favour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesire without comfort\u003c\/strong\u003e – Enter the dark lady poems, where longing offers no simple promise of purity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn argument in miniature\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow each poem's thought as it bends toward the force of its closing couplet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWords against time\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore the hope that verse can keep love alive beyond the body's limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who enjoy love poetry slowly and aloud, a few poems at a time, or want to explore how English verse works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now, and give one sonnet the time to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534632616284,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/00995_en_ebook-front_c09_91717c51-3940-43d4-913f-7fe0f1e497d7.jpg?v=1792174983","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/de\/products\/shakespeares-sonette-grossdruck","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
