    Hi teacher, I'm from Uruguay and I'm studying literature (in Spanish of course) but i also want to learn English literature, so that's my next career. I love sonnets... The form is perfect and it amazes me. Thanks for the video. Literature is magic and unique in all languages!

    Thanks Gill for the incredible video.
    The line: That mirror gave back all her loveliness
    I think mirror here is a metaphor for canvas because mirrors never lie and reflect your image as you are. Only a canvas with the help of an artist can give back her long-lost beauty.
    The model in the poem has left behind her youth and the artist has done his best to defy time and its pulverizing force.

    Gil, you give so much enlightment to us, I truly want to hug you, thank you very much ma'am. Here in Brazil, we have popular poets called 'cordelistas' ('cordelists', maybe in English, I guess) and they say that when the phrase ends with a not precise semi vowel that the poem has the 'broken foot' - that poem is made with a 'broken foot' rhym. That also occuors when the poem don't fallows exatally the sylabic metric. But, those poems have beauty and porpuse too in their own way. Ah, just a tiny contribution: a sestet is composed by two tercets. Sorry for any error in that writting.

    Thank you Gill! Your lessons are fantastic!
    It was 1984, I was 15, I knew my first 600 words of English and some grammar. Then I wrote this:
    I think of you,
    I dream you often,
    in a sunny dress,
    with a smiling face.
    You are so pretty,
    you are so nice,
    your charm will heat up
    the coldest ice.
    But in every tale,
    fairy or real,
    there is some truth,
    bad or very good.
    Living in the west and in the east,
    we are just beauty and the beast.

    I never wrote a poem in English again :-(.

    My favourite English painters are John William Waterhouse and John William Godward. Their artworks depict scenes from the daily life and mythology of ancient Greece/ancient Rome. Arthurian legends are also a subject matter of Waterhouse's paintings.

    Well probably there was a mirror just to enhance her body, multiply the image or give light to the canvas. We have to be aware that glass, mirror or metal was used throughout the history of painting in order to show the reflection of self portraits and painting. In one of the picture of the Dutch painter Vermeer (the anonimous art genius) we can see the reflection of the girl taken music lessons.

    When I am dead, my dearest,
    Sing no sad songs for me;
    Plant thou no roses at my head,
    Nor shady cypress tree:
    Be the green grass above me
    With showers and dewdrops wet;
    And if thou wilt, remember,
    And if thou wilt, forget.
    I shall not see the shadows,
    I shall not feel the rain;
    I shall not hear the nightingale
    Sing on, as if in pain:
    And dreaming through the twilight
    That doth not rise nor set,
    Haply I may remember,
    And haply may forget.

    Hi Gill! Thank you for a fantastic lesson to accompany us in the festive season. I'm a bit puzzled with the way you pronounce Rossetti's surname. It being an italian name, one would pronounce both double consonants (ss & tt) in Italian. I understand that in English the double tt rule doesn't apply. But wouldn't the "ss" be pronounced "s" as in "assessment*, rather than "z" as in "rose"? Thank you in advance ❣️

    • @engvidGill
      @engvidGill  2 года назад +3

      Hi - that's a good point! I think because the Rossetti family settled in the UK, and Christina and her three siblings were all born in London, the surname has been 'anglicised'. I guess there are two different ways of pronouncing the name, as you describe :-)

      Ma'am,i feel,this poem has some resemblance with the poem 'My Last Duchess' by Robert Browning,though that is not a sonnet,but the subject of the poem is almost the same !
