‘Not Marble nor the Gilded Monuments’ is Shakespeare's sonnet. This sonnet portrays time as a mighty destroyer.All materialistic things like worldly power, glory and prosperity fade away with the passage of time. Time destroys all living and nonliving things. It destroys even stone statues. Everything in this world is subject to decay. The rich and powerful people want to perpetuate their memory through gold plated monuments, memorials and statues. But all their attempts are in vain because monuments and memorials are made of stone and they lose their glory and fell to utter neglect ,decay and deterioration.

The Poet believes that riches don't matter much in this world. What is more valuable is his love for his beloved. Neither death nor war will be able to destroy her memory. The memory of his friend we also continue to live forever.
