unattainable love
Within the sonnets written by Spenser and Wyatt, there is something called unattainable love. The poet Petrarch first used this in one of his sonnets. Unattainable love is a love that a person cannot have for a particular reason. This love is very strong between the two people, yet they cannot be with each other because of this particular reason. In Edmund Spenser’s “Sonnet 75” and Sir Thomas Wyatt’s “Farewell Love”, unattainable love can be seen. In this essay, unattainable love will be compared between these two poems, showing how it is used and when it is used. In “Sonnet 75” by Edmund Spenser, we can see this literary device being used throughout the poem. This sonnet is about a person who has just lost his loved one. His loved one had died, we don’t know how but we know that she isn’t alive and well. This is the reason that these two loved ones are apart and thus his love is unattainable. This poem was written to immortalize his loved one as he saw her. In the first part of the poem, he states, “One day I wrote her name upon the strand, But came the waves and washed it away; Again I wrote it with a second hand, But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.”(Sonnet 75, Line 1-4). This shows how he really felt about
