Shakespeare’s 55th sonnet deals with the unique theme of immortality through verse. In this sonnet, the bard talks about the futility of worldly glory and material attempts at immortalization. He refers to princes, great rulers, and the rich who have sought to immortalize themselves or what they love through monuments, statues, and memorials. He believes ‘not marble nor the gilded monuments’ can stand the ravages of time. If there is anything that can immortalize a person, a memory, or an object of love, it is poetry.
