From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory;
But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding.
Pity the world, or else this glutton be:
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
Q1.
The figurative language used is a hyperbole. It is used to express the feelings and words in the poem such that it gives an impression that gives the reader a more better understanding of the whole poem idea. Metaphors are used to describe actions or things in the poem such that it would be better to understand. Lastly is Symbolism, which is to mix two things in the story that adds up nicely in the poem to give a more intense story.
Q2.
I dont really know any poems so I randomly search for William Shakespeare and choose one of his poems. I found this poem interesting at first because the name was Sonnet 1. Which i thought was his first poem. When I read it again and again, the poem became to make more sense to be. It is like a story but with rhyme. Even thought some of the words seem foreign to me, I can make a little sense out of it .
