    Dear Rebecca, thank you a lot for your explainations ! I've just discovered the sonnets 2 weeks ago, recited or song in french by Norah Krief at the Théâtre de la Bastille, Paris, and was amazed. Shakespeare's sonnet are not that famous in France... and I'm really shamed to say that we learn very little of Shakespeare at school!! A shamefull pity.
    Since I discovered your explainations of the sonnets, I carefully listen to them. You drive me through a wonderfull world and make me understand the hidden beauty of a language I hardly understand.
    Thank you Rebecca, from France !!!
    ...And thank you, Shakespeare, talking so well about human feelings...

    Thanks Rebecca. Very good. Now about the lark, a european bird which flies pretty much straight up and up, singing all the time until eventually it flies so high that it cannot be seen but can still be heard, presumably right then at Heaven's gate. Ned

    I disagree with your summing it up as "I think of you and it makes me happy". I know what you mean by it but I always thought the poem was essentially saying "Being loved by you makes me great"
    He spends half the poem talking about being a huge loser but in the end would not change his state because as he is, he is loved by this paramour to whom the sommet is directed.
    Its true that thinking on his love makes him happy but the poem is more about the state of his life.

    Thanks for this explanation! I memorized this for high school some many (many many many) years ago, and while I had a passing familiarity with Shakespeare's penchant for bawdiness, I never thought to apply it to this sonnet. Very interesting - thanks again!

    Bootless prayers are those said without ones boots on. Those said in ones pyjammas before bed. These are generally the most earnest ones. All people in those times would have known that prayers in secret are those that God is most likely to listen to since this was the method prescribed by Christ.

    Sonnet 29: When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes
    BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
    When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
    I all alone beweep my outcast state,
    And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
    And look upon myself and curse my fate,
    Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
    Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
    Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
    With what I most enjoy contented least;
    Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
    Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
    (Like to the lark at break of day arising
    From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
    For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
    That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
