The good news is that everyone can learn to understand poetry. Death be not proud, though some have called thee Here’s how we know that: the poet mentions how summer is too short, how nature changes course, and how that which is “fair” declines as time passes. First is the full text of the sonnet, then a brief overview of the sonnet’s key themes, then a line-by-line explication of the entire sonnet. Specifically, the poet is comparing his mistress’s appearance to the things we often find beautiful in nature: bright, red coral, white snow, red and white roses.
It seems kind of rude to bring up all the ways that her beauty doesn’t live up to the vividness of nature.
