Analysis "Ready To Break Our Heart"
Introduction
The sonnet presents innocence as a fragrance that brings beauty, power, and harmony to our lives, and encourages us to cherish and nurture this precious quality.
Thematic Analysis
Octave Analysis: The octave in this sonnet seems to depict the journey of life from birth to youth. It starts with the vulnerability of a newborn (“Stumbling into this dear life we get born / Fragile and weak at first, looking for milk”) and progresses to the exploration and experiences of youth (“In a lake of lucid youth while we wink / With idlesse at flowers that fields adorn”). The octave uses vivid imagery to portray the innocence and carefree nature of youth.
Sestet Analysis: The sestet, on the other hand, appears to represent the transition into adulthood and the accompanying responsibilities and challenges (“On time we grow to think of the menage / Ready to suffer, so quick to depart”). It speaks of the choices we make (“From what seems best we choose to set our chart”) and the inevitable changes and heartbreaks that come with growth and experience (“Although soon we want to change our image / And soon we also start to break our heart”).
Overall, this sonnet beautifully encapsulates the journey of life, from the innocence of youth to the complexities of adulthood. The transition from the octave to the sestet also mirrors the transition from youth to adulthood, making the poem a poignant reflection on the human experience.
