There is still a suggestion of survival, but survival of human appreciation and not of the verse itself. Doom refers to the Judgment day, suggesting that this poetic record of his subject will survive and be praised to the end of time. Slight deviation of the metre in the words Even in creates emphasis for this permanency . The poet is saying that death and enmity destroys everything but poetry written on the subject will survive , will move ahead, find place and will be immortalized for all generations to come.

- 19. Summary In this poem Shakespeare addresses the qualities of his beloved. His poetry will immortalise his beloved. He is sure that his poetry will last longer than the marble or gold plated monuments and statues and monuments of big and powerful monarchs and princes. Thus the image of his beloved portrayed in his poetry will shine more brightly than the gold plated monuments. He reiterates that wars and the forces of nature may affect the ornate monuments and statues, but cannot destroy his poetry. The recorded memory of his beloved in his poetry will live till prosterity. In the last couplet of the sonnet, Shakespeare asserts that poetry as an art is permanent and therefore poetry will immortalise his beloved. HOME List
