      The ''lines'' can also be seen as a descendance, the sonnet recommending to procreate in order to save this beauty of theirs. It's a common theme in the sonnets written to or for this person.

    What a poem. Excellent analysis. I am always struck--in a society so bent on esteeming and exonerating Change (watch any BBC nature documentary)--by how fundamental our desire for eternity seems. We would have to close our eyes to the obvious import of poems like this one in order to value Change as the central significance of life (as does the BBC nature documentary "Life"). Nothing against BBC documentaries; I'm wonderfully addicted to them. But the poetry of the everlasting is undeniable. I would love to see a follow up video analyzing Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale," to see these two poems in conversation about art. Keep it up!

    listening to this b4 my class on New cristism. the contrasts and the unity of this poem is in this. the contrast of comparing the subject of the sonnet to something temporary yet telling that they are eternal makes this sort of unity in the end especially in the couplet.

    Thine own eyes turn to beauty
    Death cheats us all
    Him or her cry for life
    Death is tall, death is captivating
    Shall we go to the market, or maybe?
    Questions in life never escape me
    I found thine own love on the carpet mat
    Poetry ever fades death
    But what if she doesn't love me?
    What if life ceased to exist?
    Then I would be forced to plea,
    I would be made a nasty feast
    Death waits for his turn
    Beth really never got a chance
    (This is just a general idea. I wish I could write like him! But I think that we are all special in our own way. It's important to explore passion. I think that Shakespeare defend beauty over death, resulting in a life that never fades away. Yet, death does not allow us to sway...)
