Shakespeare's Halloween

This is a good example of using sound imagery. I could hear the overlapping cries because of the repetition, alliteration, and different uses of the expression of sorrow and darkness:

• "sessions of sweet silent thought" (line one)
• "And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste" (line 4)
• "in death's dateless night" (line 6)
• "And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe" (line 7)
• "Then I can grieve and grievances" (9)
• "woe to woe" (10)
• "fore-bemoaned moan" (11)
• "Which I new pay, as if not paid before" (12)

Really it reminded me of the Halloween spirit. Then came the couplet ending as usual in a Shakespearian sonnet that turned the whole feel around and said "It's not that bad" and "sorrows end" (line 14).
