83 Quotes About Sonnet

Flag Cruelty Fraught (The New American Anthem)Say, can you see,The darkness we've caused?Our star spangled banner,Is a flag cruelty fraught.It ain't land of the free,It ain't home of the brave.Where looks define dignity,Is but humanity's grave.Slavery is alive as racism,Bigotry still claims dominion.First we must treat these ailments,Or else, for us there is no dawn.O say, it's time to abolish all false glory.Forget valor, let's first practice equality.

Sonnet of OccupationWith just weeks of lockdown,You all feel restless and bland.That is how everyday life is,For people in occupied land.Imagine living your whole life,Subject to restriction and suspicion.Ask a Palestinian or a Kashmiri,They'll reveal the face of occupation.Life, liberty and happiness,Are the rights of every being.Whenever a government violates them,Civilized humanity must intervene.I call to all humans far and near,Rest not till statehood is declared.

Sonnet of PalestineI don't want to wage a war,All I want is to raise a family.I don’t want your empty pity,All I seek is a little humanity.To call genocide as self-defense,May be textbook diplomacy.Killing innocents to keep control,Is an act of terrorist hypocrisy.Brokers may bring ceasefire,But they can never give us liberty.All they do is arrange assemblies,While we suffer through the century.So I say to you o people in luxury,Look at us and you'll know your fallacy.

A sonnet is a wave of melody From heaving waters of the impassion'd soul.

Originally the sonnet was a site of sexual violence. Male poets were rewarded for celebrating the women they hunted. They used the sonnet form and an instrument called the ‘blazon’ to convert their prey into exquisite English artifacts. Our anthologies still include holograms of jewel-like eyes, porcelain skin, ruby lips, hair like gold, and so on.

Je vis, je meurs ; je me brûle et me noie ;J’ai chaud extrême en endurant froidure

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.Sonnet 18.

Le vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd'huiVa-t-il nous déchirer avec un coup d'aile ivreCe lac dur oublié que hante sous le givreLe transparent glacier des vols qui n'ont pas fui !

A Christian's lifeJust a moment passing the time as a world looks upon like footprints in the sand before the tide of time comes in washing clean the sand leaving only a memory of a life touched till eternity's kiss does come saying welcome home beloved, welcome home.
