"In me thoust seest the twighlight of such a day" Line 5
Death. Death in every single poem we have read this unit. I like it thou. It's a good change of pace. Anyways, about Shakespeare. In this poem, the speaker is a man coming upon the end of his life. Again, it is compared to autumn, a very common theme in poetry it seems to me. He compares his life to the bare trees and cold and lonely weather. He also compares himself to a dying fire. However this is the confusing part. Is he talking to a lover? Or is he talking to his youth? Either way, the companion is loved even more because of the condition of the speaker. It is an unfortunate truth, that as humans we take things for granted until they are gone.
