The plot would appear to be about winter, and coldness- as Billy describes the trees as they are withering during winter and the fading leaves dying from the fall. It's long and dreadfully carried on, not really leading to any climax. The English is hard to understand, and the poem doesn't have much to it. I'm not sure what message he is trying to put across, but I surely didn't quite understand it. H I read Sonnet 73 by Billy Shakes and was not impressed.

To love that well which thou must leave ere long.I read Sonnet 73 by Billy Shakes and was not impressed. This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, In me thou see'st the glowing of such fireĬonsum'd with that which it was nourish'd by. Which by-and-by black night doth take away,ĭeath's second self, that seals up all in rest.

In me thou see'st the twilight of such day, Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,īare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

That time of year thou may'st in me behold Sonnet 73 is one of a quartet, 71 - 74, focusing on the aging process, mortality and love after death. There is a kind of proof, reflected in the seasons and the days, that love stays strong.
