- Would we be able to afford all this food if we only had love?
- Love is not all: it is not meat nor drinkNor slumber nor a roof against the rain This quote comes from Sonnet 30 by Edna St. Vincent. The two lines set up the poem as a way to acknowledge that love is only a feeling and cannot provide you tangibles like housing or food.
- Absolutely Not
- Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone The speaker continues to explain what love cannot do. It can't heal broken bones or save your life when you're on your last puff of air
- Please heal me!
- I have no medicine, only love.
- This sonnet relies heavily on imagery. Imagery is used when a speaker/author wants the reader to imagine something in their head while reading along. Authors use words that paint a vivid picture in one's mind. It goes through multiple instances, including my favorite line Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,Or nagged by want past resolution's power, where men would fight hard in order to obtain or maintain love. The sonnet plays on the senses. For example, it uses food, drinks, and housing as examples of things love cannot buy. It also describes men going to war and obtaining broken bones, something that love cannot heal.
