Comparison of love

Sonnets written in Elizabethan England were usually after Petrarch’s works. Petrarch was a man who was in love with a girl name Laura de Noves. He wrote 366 poems about his love for this woman from the year 1327 all the way until 1368. His works were very stereotypical love poems that included lines like, “She ruled in beauty o'er this heart of mine, / A noble lady in a humble home, / And now her time for heavenly bliss has come, / Tis I am mortal proved, and she divine.” Petrarch wrote in such

However, in the final rhyming couplet, Shakespeare claims his love for his mistress by professing; that even though his mistresses has a great deal of flaws, he accepts them and loves her as much as any man could love a woman.

emphasizing his use of elegiac couplets? On the one hand, he is writing about topics of love and desire but its instructional presentation and structure belongs to a didactic poem.

Robert Bridges and Anne Stevenson have two poems that emphasize the conflicting nature of love. Both of the poems introduce two different concepts of love, the first being how love is eternal, and the second being the lost perspective of what love really is.

“Love Should Grow up Like a Wild Iris in the Fields” is an exquisite literary piece that exhumes the pragmatism of love. Griffin's poem is filled with compelling comparisons that display her true feelings on the matter. Even though love can be beautiful, this sentiment is not comparable to an iris in the field.
