  • Summary

  • Shakespeare has another interaction with Time. Time really annoys him because it makes everyone old and ugly.


    Sonnet 64

    When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced
    The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;
    When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed,
    And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;
    When I have seen the hungry ocean gain
    Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,
    And the firm soil win of the watery main,
    Increasing store with loss, and loss with store;
    When I have seen such interchange of state,
    Or state itself confounded to decay;
    Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate
    That Time will come and take my love away.
    This thought is as a death which cannot choose
    But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
