Sonnet 073
Sonnet 73 is one of William Shakespeare's 154 sonnets, written in the early 17th century. The poem reflects on themes of aging and mortality, using metaphors of autumn and twilight to convey the speaker's contemplation of life’s transience. This sonnet is notable for its poignant exploration of love and loss, often interpreted as a meditation on the passage of time and the inevitability of death. It was celebrated by LibriVox with multiple recordings to honor Shakespeare's birthday in 2006.
