Question

In Shakespeare sonnet 18 .. what is the problem with 'summer's' lease'? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speaker faults a summer's day (or rather, the entire summer season) as being all too short: its "lease hath all too short a date." We can infer that the speaker's love is more enduring and present, whereas the summer is a series of fleeting sensations.

Explanation:

Summer is a warm, delightful time of the year often associated with rest and recreation. Shakespeare compares his love to a summer's day in Sonnet 18. ... (Before summer, strong winds knock buds off of the flowering trees.) And summer's lease.
