Famous Sonnets By Shakespeare

Shakespeare published 154 sonnets, and although they are all poems of the highest quality, there are some that have entered deeply into the consciousness of our culture to become the most famous Shakespeare sonnets. This handful of sonnets are quoted regularly by people at all levels of modern western life - sometimes without even realizing that they are quoting a line from Shakespeare.

In our humble opinion the 8 sonnets below represent Shakespeare's most famous words in the sonnet form:

Perhaps the most famous of all the sonnets is Sonnet 18, where Shakespeare addresses a young man to whom he is very close. It would be impossible to say whether Shakespeare was an arrogant man because we don't know what he was like. We also don't know whether he thought he was the 'great,' immortal writer that we regard him as today. However, after describing the young man's great beauty, he suggests that his poetry is 'eternal' and ends by stating that as long as there are people who can still read, the sonnet, and therefore the description of the young man's beauty, will still be there.

An interesting take on aging and love. The narrator describes the things that people agonize over as they descend into old age - all the regrets and the pain of reliving the mistakes he has made. It's full of agony but when he thinks about his beloved all the regrets and pain evaporate.

This is a poem about loss; the loss of a loved one. Shakespeare approaches it by expressing the contrast in the way we feel when the morning sun is shining brightly and when it's obscured by clouds, making the world a forlorn place. When he was loved by the beloved it was like the glorious morning, but now, having lost the beloved, it feels like an overcast and gloomy morning. He concludes that he doesn't condemn the beloved because human frailty, even among the best of humanity, is just as much a part of nature as the obscuring clouds are.

The narrator of Sonnet 73 is approaching death and thinking about how different it is from being young. It's like the branch of a tree where birds once sang but the birds have gone and the leaves have fallen, leaving only a few dry yellow leaves. It's like the twilight of a beautiful day, where there is only the black night ahead. It's like the glowing ashes of a fire that once roared. The things that one gave him life have destroyed his life. From that experience, he has learned that one has to love life as strongly as one can because it will end all too soon.

Here Shakespeare expresses the love one person has for another by showing how the beauty of the beloved doesn't change in the eyes of the lover. He shows time passing through the seasons and the years, everything changing. Except for the beauty of the beloved. He goes further by saying that no matter how long the world will endure, even though the beloved is long dead there will never be another as beautiful.

There are two striking definitions of love that we refer to again and again. Perhaps the most popular of the two is in Paul's letter to the Corinthians ( Corinthians 13: 4-8):

Love is patient, love is kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.

Paul's text is as well known as Sonnet 116 because it is used in most weddings as the young couple stands before the minister. But Shakespeare's sonnet employs an amazing array of poetic devices to convey the eternal nature of love. Shakespeare ends by staking everything on his observations about love by asserting that if he is wrong about it then no-one ever wrote anything and no-one ever loved.

Sonnet 129 is an interesting take on the imperative force of lust, but its ultimate shallowness. Everyone knows how shallow and guilt-producing lust is but very few men can avoid it. Shakespeare shows how lust brings out the very worst in people and the extremes they will go to. And then he explains the guilt that follows the satisfaction of one's lust.

Shakespeare is expressing the kind of love that has nothing to do with the beloved's looks. He satirizes the usual way of expressing love for a woman - praising her lips and her hair, the way she walks, and all the things that a young man may rave about when he thinks about his beloved. What he does is invert those things, assert that his beloved is ugly, ungainly, bad-smelling, etc, but ends by saying that his love for her is as 'rare' as that of any young man who writes flatteringly about the object of his love.

Publishing Shakespeare's Sonnets

A widely held belief contends that Shakespeare's sonnets were published without his consent. Had Shakespeare endorsed their publication, many believe he would have provided their printer with an authoritative text and a dedication. However, "Shakes-peares Sonnets" contains no dedication from the author and the text has many errors. Some critics also maintain that some sonnets are unfinished and that the sequence is too incoherent to have been intended for publication.

Exponents of this view have argued that someone whom Shakespeare trusted betrayed him by giving the poems to their first publisher, Thomas Thope, or that a thief, perhaps motivated by animosity or personal profit, seized the poets manuscript and sold it on. Some hold that the publication of the sonnets surely upset Shakespeare, whose poems dealt with scandalous forms of love; homoerotic and adulterous. Others variously insist that these subjects are more shocking to post-Victorian readers than to Jacobean ones; that, whilst the sonnets voice strong feelings, these were entirely appropriate to the form; and that emotions expressed in his sonnets do not mirror Shakespeare's own any more than those of dramatic characters in his plays.

Who Were The Shakespeare Sonnets Dedicated To?

Certain features of the sonnet form - not least the first-person narrative and themes of love - give the impression of offering direct access to their author's inner world. Since there has long been intense curiosity about the 'youth' addressed in the sonnets, clues to his identity have also been extracted with no little strain from the frontispiece of the first edition. The author of this dedication, T.T, was Thomas Thorpe, the publisher. But the identity of the "begetter" of the sonnets, "Mr W. H." remains a mystery. Some think this is a misprint for "Mr W. S." or "Mr W. Sh.", as in William Shakespeare. Others suspect that the "begetter" refers to the scoundrel who may have conveyed the poems to Thorpe against Shakespeare's wishes. But the most widely held assumption is that the "beggetter" must be the person who inspired the "ensuing sonnets", the majority of which address a young man.

Working from the scant evidence offered by the initials W. H., literary detectives have proposed many candidates. One is Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, to whom Shakespeare dedicated Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece in the mid-1590s. Another is William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, whose name figures among those to whom the First Folio was dedicated in 1623. A third candidate is Sir William Hervey, stepfather of the Earl of Southampton, who may have commissioned lyrics urging the young man to marry and produce an heir - the first 17 sonnets of the sequence treat this theme. Of these candidates, however, two were earls and one was a gentleman, referred to as "Sir". None would have been called "Mr" save by error or to suggest intimacy. In the end, these probing enigmas of Shakespeare's sonnets are forced to speculate; information is poor, scarce and inconclusive.

The numbers behind the sonnets

Who knew that Shakespeare's sonnets and mathematics were so linked?

In the super-interesting video below, Professor Roger Bowley talks about the tight constraints - and shape - that numbers gave to Shakespeare's sonnets.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sonnets are poems of expressive ideas or thoughts that can take a number of different forms, but always have two things in common.

1. All sonnets have fourteen lines

The fourteen lines of a sonnet are made up of one of a number of different rhyme patterns. For example, a sonnet can be divided into two sections, each section having its own rhyme pattern. This could be an eight-line section (called an octet), followed by a six-line section (called a sestet) - the form used by the Italian poet, Petrarch, the most famous sonnet writer apart from Shakespeare. It's known as the Petrarchan Sonnet or the Italian Sonnet.

Sonnet can also be divided into three four-line sections (called quatrains), followed by a two-line section (called a couplet). This is the form Shakespeare used and the form has become known as t he Shakespearean Sonnet or the Elizabethan Sonnet.

2. All sonnets are written in iambic pentameter

Iambic pentameter refers to the structure of the line. Iambic refers to the name of the foot, which is composed of a weaker syllable followed by an accented syllable. For example, the word away has two syllables with a weak stress on the first, ' a', and a strong stress on the second, ' way'. The word constitutes a foot or an iambus. Pentameter simply refers to the number of feet, in the case of the sonnet, five. All sonnets use iambic pentameter, and almost all the lines in Shakespeare's plays are written in iambic pentameter as well. Read our in-depth guide to iambic pentameter.

The rhyming pattern of a Shakespearean sonnet

The Shakespearean sonnet expresses a single idea, but the division into three quatrains and one couplet allows the poet to switch the focus, dealing with a different aspect of the idea in each section. (We go into a lot more detail on this in our guide on how to write a sonnet.)

In a Shakespearean sonnet the quatrain patterns look like this: ABAB CDCD EFEF and the couplet is GG. All the words ending the lines with the same letter rhyme with each other. All Shakespearean sonnets follow this pattern. Here is Shakespeare's sonnet 116 where he writes about love:

First Quotrain

Let me not to the marriage of true minds -A

Admit impediments. Love is not love - B

Which alters when it alteration finds, - A

Or bends with the remover to remove: - B

Second Quotrain

Oh, no! it is an ever-fixéd mark, - C

That looks on tempests and is never shaken; D

It is the star to every wandering bark, -C

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. - D

Third Quotrain

Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks - E

Within his bending sickle's compass come' - F

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, - E

But bears it out even to the edge of doom. - F

Couplet

If this be error and upon me proved, - G

I never writ, nor no man ever loved. - G

The first quatrain announces that love is perfect and can't be affected by anything. The second quatrain elaborates on that, showing that love is something absolutely stable in a tumultuous world. The third quatrain switches the focus to time and suggests that love lasts forever. The couplet is a final summing up in which the poet stakes his career on the truth of what he's revealed about love.

And that's the answer to the question "what is a sonnet?"!

Beyond the records of his baptism in 1564 and his burial in 1616 there is little documentary evidence for William Shakespeare's life, although there are many unverifiable stories and anecdotes. Even the traditional date for his birth, St George's Day, 23 April, is uncertain. What evidence there is connects him firmly to Stratford-upon-Avon, where he was born, married, and died. Nothing is known of Shakespeare's early life before his marriage, at the age of 18, in 1582. For five years, when he was in his 20s, there is nothing to tell us where Shakespeare was or what he was doing. He disappears from Stratford records after 1587, and reappears only in 1592 in London.

We do not know how and when he became an actor, or when he began writing plays either in collaboration with other dramatists or alone. His work as a dramatist is recorded through his published plays, but his career as an actor is virtually undocumented. Shakespeare is mentioned occasionally, in official records, in the records of the lives of his relations and friends, and in the writings of his fellow actors and dramatists, and that is all. His life and career have been more extensively researched than those of any other writer, but the evidence remains elusive.
