Sonnet Reflection #129

This is one of the more passionate sonnets written by the speaker. The first twelve lines have verbs that are in the past tense, while the last two lines contain present tense verbs. I found this to be curious and the fact that the speaker uses every tense of one verb, in one line in the sonnet. There were also a lot of adjectives throughout this sonnet, and not many verbs or nouns. Shakespeare showed his use of improvised speech, where one idea is attacked until a new idea is brought forward. This technique is also usually used when a person write in a frustrated state. The speaker also seems to keep reusing words like the verb, to have, in line ten. This frustrated writing use is also shown in the first twelve lines. It is shown because, despite the length of these twelve lines, those lines are indeed one sentance. This shows how intense this sonnet was taken into account and how important and strongly the speaker felt about this sonnet.
