As with any of Shakespeare’s sonnets, he relies upon allusions, metaphors, similes, symbolism, and analogies to express his thoughts. However, via these thoughts, he is also diving into his emotions. Based on the aforementioned allusions, metaphors, similes, symbolism, and analogies, how is he applying them to “When Most I Wink”? What message is he sending in this poem? Be sure to go deep into the meaning. Break your thoughts down for the sonnet. Below is the sonnet for you to pull details from: When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,For all the day they view things unrespected;But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,How would thy shadow’s form form happy showTo the clear day with thy much clearer light,When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed madeBy looking on thee in the living day,When in dead night thy fair imperfect shadeThrough heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!All days are nights to see till I see thee,And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.
