Question

Why does the poet prefer night to day in "To the Night"?
Who wrote curtail sonnets?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ans 1 : Shelley explicitly rejects death in the poem. Yet the poem has a touch of morbidity in it: Night is preferred to day, and it is not invoked so that with it will come sleep. Shelley wants to escape from day and seek refuge in night, but in the poem he doesn't tell us why he wants night to come.

Ans 2 :. Gerard Manley Hopkins

It refers specifically to a sonnet of 11 lines rhyming abcabc dcbdc or abcabc dbcdc with the last line a tail, or half a line. The term was used by Gerard Manley Hopkins to describe the form that he used in such poems as “Pied Beauty” and “Peace.” Curtal is now an obsolete word meaning “shortened.”
