Hallo!!
I can't thank you enough dearest valued contributors!
Oh, well! I haven't thought my thread would have get really nice replies back and I gratefully appreciate every word you have written so far!
First of all, I have been an undergraduate, studying linguistics at the Faculty of Arts at the university of khartoum in Sudan.. that was in 1994! I have been so sorry to quit studying and travelled to Egypt for some seven years then came back again to complete my studies once more!
The four lines of Shakespear's sonnet are still a part of a course I'm really struggling with so far! To be frank, the meaning of those lines hits me so badly that i couldn't even go any further with them, though the question about them runs as :-
Demostrate with examples from Shakespear's sonnet X1 the various linguistics changes in the aspect of sounds, forms, syntax and meaning??
I'm deeply sorry if I've offended you dearest managers and members and direly hope you could excuse me for being ignorant of the forum rules and of my poor language!
Thanks in advance!
Wluv

Welcome to Using English, Wluv!

Are you now clear about the meaning of the quatrain, or are there parts that are still puzzling?

All the best,

MrP

Not to worry! You haven't offended anybody. (Not that I know of.) You only asked a couple of questions, and we wouldn't have anything to do if people didn't ask questions.

Hallo MrP and thank you very much for your care!
Oh, well! It goes perfectly well in my head right now thanks to God!
Still 4 days to come 4 the sonnet's exam! the main problem isn't in the course but in the lecturer who uses a god-given language insisting that no student is allowed to EVEN paraphrase his OLD style of grammar! The lecturer is getting old, 71 years old so far and can't positively cope with new change in the field of linguistics!
I always get A's in other courses but in his i hardly credited with C, blieve it or not ?? Thanks 4 listening Mrp!
So, if I have further guestions, can i generally post them in new posts or must I use ASK A TEACHER ??? Thankx!

If you have new questions, start a new thread. General questions are best in Ask a Teacher; questions about Literature, in this forum.

If you have more questions about this quatrain, ask them on this thread.

Thank you MrP!
It's so marvelous that you all creat a perfectly special elite world of literati that I would love to add those lovely lines :-
Love can be many things :-
A partnership, a friendship
A way of living from day to day
A sharing, a caring
A trust, a commitment
A wonderful feeling that will always stay..
