The speaker in William Shakespeare’s poem, “Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,” is tired and getting ready for bed. However, the “Fair Youth,” a young man who is distant from him, occupies all of his thoughts. Like a blind person caught in the dark, the speaker is just looking into space. His thoughts, however, are filled with pictures of the handsome young man, which shine light into the shadows, eradicating their ugliness and giving the night a fresh appearance. There is no way for the speaker to get away from the physical and emotional tiredness he experiences day and night because of this person’s thoughts.
