Sonnet 66: Tired With All These, for Restful Death I Cry
Manage episode 392652338 series 3415878
Sonnet 66 to all intents and purposes is a rant. In it, William Shakespeare uses his opening line to tell us that he is about to name just some of the things that make him want to throw in the towel and die. He then lists eleven of these ills in the world and reserves the closing couplet to reiterate that he's really over it and would gladly turn his back on it all, except that to do so would mean leaving his love behind, thus turning his love, for which of course read his lover, into the sole redeeming feature of an existence that has altogether too many things wrong with it.
