The discussions will revolve around creating commentaries regarding what the poems wish to convey. Focus on how it puts into words the ideas of reading and writing for Sonnet 106 and the attention to voice for Sonnet 130. Literary poetry has lost the curiosity of the general populace over time, but Shakespeare`s sonnets have the still has the same attractive power as contemporary nursery rhymes today. The poems by Shakespeare cannot be simply analyzed in one manner, but it is like a kaleidoscope in which it offers fresh inspirations every time it is wobbled. Shakespeare is able to inhibit the different ebbs and flows within our emotions as well as the different recurrences that are happening within our own personal emotions and reflections.[Mandelkem, Jillian.

First off, the Sonnet 106 by William Shakespeare will be examined and discussed regarding how it recognizes and represents the acts of reading and writing. As humans, we are born to read and write. We are here to understand the things that have happened, the things that are happening and the things that might happen. In order to comprehend this diverse world, we ought to learn how to read and write. There is a statement - A finely crafted poem can provide the receptive reader with a quick jolt and a lasting sense of wonder. Reading good poetry can be a vacation for the rest of our lives as humans. A good writer can enable other people to a sense of wonder and awe that can affect the others course of life. It is not always about yourself but how you can influence another.[Caldwell, HeatherFreund, Anthony Barzilay. "WHY POETRY STILL MATTERS." Town & Country 157, no. 5278 (July 2003): 47.

When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme,
In praise of ladies dead, and lovely knights
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express'd
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And, for they look'd but with divining eyes
They had not skill enough your worth to sing;
For we, which now behold these present days
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.[William Shakespeare, sonnet 106]
The interpretation of Sonnet 106 by William Shakespeare is not just about the existing interpretations but will attempt to create a whole new outlook toward the poem. What the sonnet and other interpretations are trying to say is that the poem emphasizes on historically past beauty of medieval aristocracy. This poem is said to be in the context of metrical romances and medieval history. The writing suggests - "We see you know, but cannot praise you. According to this, Sonnet 106 is said to be looking back in time, in the direction of a period in recorded time which the speaker reads. The bards of previous times were believed to be like prophets, writing things that were concerned on the subject of beauty, but which man can not perceive as of that moment, other than how it was reflected in the most beautiful men and women of their time. This was how existing interpretations were presenting the Sonnet 106.[In these lines Shakespeare emphasizes the historically past beauty of medieval aristocracy by such words as chronicle, wasted time, old rhyme, ladies, dead, lovely knights, blazon, and antique pen.

At this moment, this paper will illustrate a new way of interpreting the poem, in relation to reading and writing. Humanity before were able to write articles that were able to express beautiful scripts that was worth remembering. It surpassed through time and was able to continue to exist and influence up until now. Compared to this point in time, reading and writing was much more glorious. Nowadays, humanity does not seize the opportunity to put a mark in history. Humanity has become more conscious to the different knowledge present yet fails to resonate them in their own lives. "For we which now behold these present days have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise." We see things in a whole new different perspective but we fail to write magnificent things on our own. We take awe in what we see but are unable to create writings to share them for future generations.[Shakespeare, William. Sonnet 106]
We have to re-open our minds and let our hands write of the different astonishing events and things that are happening in our time. Having a tongue to praise can mean to have a mind that is able to share the different beauties through his own writings so that other readers will be able to enjoy the things that they will be unable to experience because there are things that are wondrous that they only happen once and will no longer be repeated. It is up to the present generation to put in writing the wondrous events so that future generations can partake in the awe of these wondrous things and be encouraged to write as well.
Now, we move onto the next poem, Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare wherein this paper will discuss the voice of poetry.
My mistress` eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips` red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I ha...
