Generated Document (Shakespeare) Robert M. Mondoy, 1979 Sonnet 30: When to the sessions of sweet silent thought BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1554-1616), ca. 1595 When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unus'd to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan th' expense of many a vanish'd sight; Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd, and sorrows end. Sonnet 30 is one of the 154 sonnets written by the English poet and playwright William Shakespeare. It was published in the Quarto in 1609. It is also part of the Fair Youth portion of the Shakespeare Sonnet collection where he writes about his affection for an unknown young man. While it is not known exactly when Sonnet 30 was written, most scholars agree that it was written between 1595 and 1600. It is written in Shakespearean form, comprising fourteen lines of iambic pentameter, divided into three quatrains and a couplet. Within the sonnet, the narrator spends time remembering and reflecting on sad memories of a dear friend. He grieves of his shortcomings and failures, while also remembering happier memories. The narrator uses legal metaphors throughout the sonnet to describe the sadness that he feels as he reflects on his life. Then in the final couplet, the narrator changes his tone about the failures, as if the losses are now merely gains for himself.

In our exploration of the Sonnets we its TTS “expressive reading” version [4,5,6]1. have used the output of SPARSAR which allows a Most of a poem's content can be captured considering full-fledged linguistic analysis which is structured at three three basic levels or views on the poem itself: one that covers macro levels, a Phonetic Relational Level where phonetic what can be called the overall sound pattern of the poem - and phonological features are highlighted; a Poetic and this is related to the phonetics and the phonology of the Relational Level that accounts for a poetic devices, i.e. words contained in the poem - Phonetic Relational View.

The poetry of earth is ceasing never: On a lone winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills The Cricket's song, in warmth increasing ever, And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, The Grasshopper's among some grassy hills. It is a Beauteous Evening - William Wordsworth 1It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, 2The holy time is quiet as a Nun 3Breathless with adoration; the broad sun 4Is sinking down in its tranquility; 5The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea; 6Listen! the mighty Being is awake, 7And doth with his eternal motion make 8A sound like thunder--everlastingly.

  • Sonnet 30 to the Sessions 11 February 1601
    THE PRISON YEARS OXFORD SUMMONED TO THE TRIAL DAY FOUR IN THE TOWER Sonnet 30 To The Sessions 11 February 1601 Edward de Vere is “summoned” to be a judge at the “Sessions” or treason trial of Essex and Southampton, to be held in Westminster Hall eight days from now. Oxford is filled with grief over the “losses” suffered by his royal son – loss of honor, loss of liberty, loss of the crown, and likely even the loss of his life by execution. Oxford’s expression of overwhelming sorrow demonstrates that, in life itself, he suffered every bit as greatly as do the characters of his plays. When his son by the Queen was born, Oxford had been forced to "pay" by being unable to acknowledge him. Now he must "new pay" for his son by making a crucial bargain with Robert Cecil and King James of Scotland, who, barring civil war around the throne, will become James I of England. Sonnet 30 Translation When to the Sessions of sweet silent thought When to the Trial with royal secret thoughts I summon up remembrance of things past, I am summoned to remember past things, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, I sigh the lack of your rights that I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time’s And cry anew over my son’s wasted royal time: waste: Then can I drown an eye (unused to flow) Then I can weep tears (like never before) For precious friends hid in death’s dateless For my royal son imprisoned, facing death and night, disgraced forever, And weep afresh love’s long-since cancelled And weep again over his royalty’s cancellation, woe, And moan th’ expense of many a vanished sight.

Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. SONNET 138 When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though I know she lies, That she might think me some untutored youth Unlearned in the world’s false subtleties. Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, Although she knows my days are past the best, Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue; On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed. But wherefore says she not she is unjust? And wherefore say not I that I am old? O love’s best habit is in seeming trust, And age in love loves not t’have years told: Therefore I lie with her, and she with me, And in our faults by lies we flattered be.

I cannot recall a more exciting year for Shakespearean literary events and publications. When I think about 2010’s great publications, I am drawn to Arden’s controversial release of Double Falsehood , James Shapiro’s best-selling Contested Will , John Pitcher’s long - awaited edition of The Winter’s Tale , and Stanley Wells’ Shakespeare, Sex, and Love . This is not even mentioning the number of RSC editions of the plays, Barbara Hodgdon’s Arden 3 edition of The Taming of the Shrew (which is now the editorial benchmark by a long measure), and Julian Curry’s Shakespeare on Stage (for which Will has provided a review in this edition). But now I’ve gone and mentioned them! Readers, there’s so much to look forward to in 2011 – the Oxford Shakespeare’s final play ( Richard II ) and John Jowett’s Sir Thomas More (f or Arden) being just the tip of the scholarly iceberg. Happy Holidays from all of us at the bookshop! See you in the new year! Best Wishes, Matt Kubus (Bookshop Assistant) and Will Sharpe (Editor) Paterson is a poet first and actually like most of them? Or Reading Shakespeare’s foremost. It would have been far perhaps Paterson thinks he is Sonnets better for him to write a series of presenting something more like Don Paterson poems in response to John Ruskin’s love-hate account of Faber and Faber £17.99 Shakespeare’s Sonnets.

After reading this unit you will be able to think, speak and write on William Shakespeare and his sonnets in general and two sonnets, 29 and 30 in particular. This will lay the foundation for an appreciation, in the long run not only of Shakespeare’s sonnets but also other sonnet sequences and long poems of Elizabethan poets such as Edmund Spenser (1552 – ’99), Sir Philip Sidney (1554 – ’86), Christopher Marlowe (1564 – ’93), Samuel Daniel (1563 - 1619) and, quite a few others. 3.1 INTRODUCTION In this unit you will read a brief life sketch of William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) and two of his sonnets. Read this unit section by section in the order presented here giving yourself a short break from time to time. Don’t try to read both sonnets in quick succession. It may be a good idea to read them several times day after day till you have committed them to memory.
