Sonnet 7
Book •
Sonnet 7 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare, in which the speaker compares the trajectory of life to the sun rising, being high in the sky, and then setting.
The speaker basically says, you know, the sun's pretty glorious when it rises, and then it's really powerful.
Everyone's in awe of the sun when it's at its height.
But then when it goes down, everyone doesn't give a monkeys about it anymore.
The last caplet is, so thou thyself, outgoing in thy noon, unlooked on diest, unless thou hast a son.
