Have been trying to create an abridged version of CXVI, but so far without success...


Snooze."
Avast, thou gorbellied clapper-clawed barnacle, thou loggerheaded flap-mouthed mumble-news!

Snooze."
Avast, thou gorbellied clapper-clawed barnacle, thou loggerheaded flap-mouthed mumble-news!"
This is a quote from Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter, isn't it? Where'd you find a copy?

Shakespear began his poem with a question and he completed hie poem by answer it.compare between the most beutiful seosun for him which is ghe summer with his lover,to praise his beloved's beauty and describe all the ways in which their beauty is preferable to a summer day.Several poetic devices enhance the poem's meaning through the use of form, imagery, and figurative language to express lover's beauty.
The poet praises his beloved for portraying her as the ideal person ,works to tear down all positive thoughts of summer so that the reader can recognize just how much he lifts up the image of his beloved, when the poet describes the sun, he uses the words "gold complexion dimmed." The poet downplays the familiar brightness of the warm, comforting sun, referring to its ray as "dimmed."
Shakespear also uses alot of figuritive language like personification when he gave the death a humen character in the phrase "Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade" ,The poet portrays his beloved as the strong being who can overcome death itself, and these phrases make the beloved an ideal being, not only in the eyes of the poet but in the eyes of every reader.Also when he made the sky an eye" the eye of heaven shines".
Finnaly , I tried to show my experience reading this poem with its beauty and the eloquence it contains, which Attracts the reader's attention ,and I hope everyone will read it!
