Sonnet 75: So Are You to My Thoughts as Food to Life
Manage episode 404391044 series 3415878
Sonnet 75 marks a moment of comparative calm in the turbulent relationship between William Shakespeare and his young lover.
With its sober assessment of a continuously conflicted world of emotions that oscillate between abundant joy at being allowed to bask in the presence of the young man and utter dejection at missing him when he is absent, the sonnet seems to reconcile its poet with the reality of loving a person who is, in matters of the heart and most likely others too, a law unto himself.
