William Shakespeare

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare
[Macbeth, V. i. 19.]

MY INTERPRETATION:

Sajak ini menceritakan hidup yang kita
perlu tempuhi....(baris 1-3)
Banyak yg tersalah langkah dlm
menempuh hidup hingga
mati sia-sia (baris 4-5)
Lilin menjadi simbol nyawa/ hayat hidup(baris 6)
Hidup bak bayang2, yang hanyalah
kosong semata-mata (baris 7- akhir)

Moral: hargailah nyawa dan hidup sendiri.
Jangan biarkan ia kosong dan tak bermakna...

The Eighteenth Sonnet

by William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou growest
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Analysis of Sonnet 18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sonnet 18, one of the first of Shakespeare's sonnets to be become famous, is largely concerned with poetry. Thus it offers itself both as an introduction to a selection of great English poems from Elizabethan times to Worth War II, and to an understanding of poetry through a series of analyses and interpretations.

Immediately the speaker tried to catch and keep the reader's attention with a rhetorical question (1), proposing a comparison ("Shall I . . .") of an addressed somebody ("thee"), who remains unidentified through the whole poem, to "a Summer's day". He simply seems about to embark on a flattering praise of a beautiful person. But while the comparison is made in detail in the following three quatrains (2-12), it becomes apparent at the same time that what at first seemed to be flattering suggestion was, in fact, nothing more than the introduction to an extended investigation of that comparison's inadequacy. It was based, the speaker tells us, on certain spurious likenesses between two different phenomena (2-8). Though either can boast of beauty, a summer day cannot properly compare with the praised person. This person's beauty, the speaker maintains by forming a strong antithesis in the third quatrain ("but they eternal Summer..."), is eternal.

So, at the end of the poem, when producing this paradox of somebody's "eternal Summer", he makes the reader wonder how a person's beauty, transitory as it needs must be, could ever become eternal. But since an understanding of the couplet (13-14), though on the whole more direct in the choice of words, still heavily depends on the reference of indefinite pronouns ("this", repeated, and "thee"), the speaker releases the reader's attention only to interest him more deeply in the solution to what now appears as a puzzle.
