Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more.------------------------------------------author------------------------------------------datesonnet29-william-shakespeareWhen in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes，当我时运不济又遭人冷眼When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes，当我时运不济又遭人冷眼I all alone beweep my outcast state，只有独自流泪这被弃的境遇And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries，又用那徒劳的哭喊去搅扰冷漠的老天And look upon myself and curse my fate，对影自怜 咒怨命运wishing me like to one more rich in hope，想象自己如某人般前程远大Featured like him， like him with friends possessed，又或似他一表人才 盛友如云Desiring this man's art， and that man's scope，艳羡这人的学问 那人的的度量With what I most enjoy contented least；于自己最自得之处却最不满意Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising，但在这自轻自贱的想法里Haply I think on thee——and then my state，倘若一想起你——我的心怀呵Like to the lark at break of day arising便如同初晓的云雀 冲天而起From sullen earth sings hymns at heaven's gate；离了那阴霾大地 在天门里唱起颂曲For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings，因你的纯爱赐予我如此丰盈追忆That then I scorn to change my state with kings. 即便与国王调换际遇 我也嗤之以鼻SummaryResenting his bad luck, the poet envies the successful art of others and rattles off an impressive catalogue of the ills and misfortunes of his life. His depression is derived from his being separated from the young man, even more so because he envisions the youth in the company of others while the poet is "all alone."Stylistically, Sonnet 29 is typically Shakespearean in its form. The first eight lines, which begin with "When," establish a conditional argument and show the poet's frustration with his craft. The last six lines, expectedly beginning in line 9 with "Yet" — similar to other sonnets' "But" — and resolving the conditional argument, present a splendid image of a morning lark that "sings hymns at heaven's gate." This image epitomizes the poet's delightful memory of his friendship with the youth and compensates for the misfortunes he has lamented.赏析This is one of shakespeare's more ambiguous sonnets :one does not know who the speaker is referring to or if the word "love"in this sonnet refers to a romantic love or a platonic love.The whole poem expresses the changes of the author's inner feelings,which are from disappoint to hopeful,from negative to positive ,from desperate to attectionate ,from self-abased to confident. discloses the desire of appetite ,lust and power and proposes that appetite is the basic desire ,lust has its own duality ,the desire for power is a danger and finally the paper gives a way to deal with the desires. It is a poem which helps us sense the greatness of love,which is the center of his life,the sunshine on a cloudy day.--------------------------------------------------。
