The remaining rhymes, when they occur, are in turn, internal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As for the style--the wild sonnets are meant to be dramatic in nature, almost short soliloquies that seem to be an immediate, poetic response to some thought or comment that has just been spoken or introduced. If they are reminiscent of the Renaissance, it would be of the stage more than the pages of Sidney or Spenser.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e - 38 -\u003cbr\u003e Amid the mad immediate I sing, \u003cbr\u003e Whether it be in omen of what's yet\u003cbr\u003e To come, or amen for all that has.\u003cbr\u003e Are we not in the eye of wonder, \u003cbr\u003e Whether in the glinting rain or sheen\u003cbr\u003e Of snow, in recollection's echo, or the ache\u003cbr\u003e That after triumph takes not long to overtake?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Time touches us but briefly, like the strings\u003cbr\u003e Of some strange instrument, fashioned\u003cbr\u003e To be played by everything, but timbred, grained\u003cbr\u003e And shaped in chords and colors of our own.\u003cbr\u003e Subtle in song, ensemble and solo both--\u003cbr\u003e Whatever melody and the moment bring\u003cbr\u003e Will I to the havoc of heaven's hearing sing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookbaby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087883427991,"sku":"9781543937107","price":683.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781543937107.webp?v=1767641035","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-wild-sonnets-volume-i-1-100-9781543937107","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
