Today’s Totally Random
Lines
Those
parts of thee that the world’s eye doth view
Want
nothing that the thought of hearts can mend;
All
tongues, the voice of souls, give thee that due,
Uttering
bare truth, even so as foes commend.
Sonnet 69 First Quartrain
Well, let’s face it, the sonnets can be tough. Fourteen lines: Three quatrains of thoughts with a concluding couplet. As I’ve said before, best to take each quatrain separately because each one has one thought to it.
Today we look at the first quatrain of sonnet 69, and it's not too difficult. Right? Well, sort of. That last line is a bit suspect. However, now that I look at it, the second line is a little interesting too. First two lines: Your outward appearance lacks nothing that the thought of hearts can mend. It’s that last part: that the thought of hearts can mend.
Next two lines- Everyone agrees with that whilst speaking the truth, even so as foes commend.
Like I said, the sonnets can be a bit difficult to understand.
Oy, I’m not sure I want to go any further
with this one. How about you?
