Finally in lines he says he is like a fire which is dying because it is being choked by its own ashes. Notes L. The final couplet is ambiguous and much wrestled over by the commentators. Is Shakespeare, now aged 32, saying goodbye to his youth and inspiration or is he anticipating his own demise in the near future? The jury is still out.
In any case Shakespeare has written a fascinating and memorable sonnet. Your interpretation makes much better sense and gives it a so much deeper and richer meaning with that extra level. Like Like. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Not the time of brilliant color as we have now in October, but more like November when most of the trees are bare of leaves and the song birds have retreated to warmer climes.
In fact for him the bare revealed tree branches become choirs that once were filled with song. IT is a cold and emptied out scene. It is twilight—not sunset but after the sun has set and has faded. Black night is almost here. The first eight lines should lay out and exemplify a problem, and the last six lines should attempt to suggest a solution or a counter argument or attitude. SO this next section must somehow turn the argument around.
Abruptly the poem sees a glow like a fire in his own self even if he is in the late Autumn and the last daylight of his life. And what kind of a glow is it? It is the glow of red hot coals as they turn toward ash and are at their hottest. They have not died with time they will only expire with death. The death bed of passion is like a hearth filled with glowing ashes.
The emotions that fired him as a youth still consume him and warm him. Did you notice that two segments of the sonnet begins with the same three words? They have an unbreakable unity.
Those two have become one forever. Seeing geese gather on the shores of Strangford Lough is one of the signs of autumn and now the noisy flocks begin to settle in readiness to overwinter here. Beautiful daoku, David! A couple of weeks ago I was taking pictures of hummingbirds in my backyard and I heard the loudest sound. It was a flock of geese flying toward me; they flew right over my head! To determine theme, start by figuring out the main idea. What are the bare ruined choirs in sonnet 73?
