Sonnet 152

A tumultuous time with no clear conclusion in sight? Sound familiar?

David Stradley brings the Dark Lady sonnets to a conclusion with Sonnet 152 - but it’s not really a conclusion. There is just hurt, as the speaker believes all their vows have been broken and is condemning the affections with which they once held their loved one.

David compares the ending of the Fair Youth sonnets with the ending of the Dark Lady sonnets - and finds a connection to our times.
