My Lover's Lover: Maggie O'Farrell

Product Information

It is appropriate that Carol Ann Duffy should choose the sonnet form for Anne Hathaway to write her poem in praise of her husband’s love for her. The sonnet was the form chosen by poets in Shakespeare’s time for romantic subjects, usually a man in praise of a woman. Duffy also uses the rhythmic Shakespearian form of line construction, imabic pentameter, (see below “About Sonnets”). Although Shakespeare’s sonnets rhymed, this has not always been the case for all poets through the ages. Duffy, however, includes an emphatic closing rhyming couplet to complete her poem.

You are the best thing that happened to my life at my most miserable time. You are such a reliable person and a perfect husband. Happy Birthday, darling. This sonnet is about a woman’s lament. Her beloved has left to join a war. However, she is not proud of the incident at all. Rather she thinks her husband can die on the battlefield. Moreover, she knows one day the war is going to end. But, she is not sure about the return of her husband. As “Coquettish death” makes a soldier so hallucinated that life loses its value in his eyes. At last, the speaker asks her mother, “where is happiness?” As she knows, her life was doomed on that day when her husband left. Set time aside to figure out exactly what it is you’re looking for from a relationship, i.e. do you just want some casual fun? Do you want to find someone who can potentially become a life partner? Is it important that you feel emotionally fulfilled or is physical intimacy enough for you? Happy Birthday, my prince charming! Your birthday should be a national holiday for you are extra special! Romantic Birthday Messages for Wife John Brown by Bob Dylan – This poem centers on the conversation between a soldier-son and his mother.

They Discourage You

Song-Books of the War by Siegfried Sassoon – The poet details the truth in the voice of a man speaking plainly about the truth of the war in this poem. The poem begins with an epigraph taken from Shakespeare’s will in which, despite being considerably wealthy, he leaves Anne only his second best bed. While this has been viewed as an insult, Duffy presents a new perspective, using the bed as a metaphor for the intense passion and romance they shared. The second best bed was traditionally the couple’s marital bed, while the best would have been reserved for guests. Duffy imagines, then, that this legacy was the playwright’s last romantic gesture.
