Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 65” is one of several poems that address the issues of time, aging, and what literature can and cannot do to fight against these forces. The poem does not use the pronouns “thee” or “you” as frequently as other Shakespearean sonnets do. Instead, “Sonnet 65” indirectly alludes to the Fair Youth and the effects that time will have on him. The speaker searches his mind for anything or anybody who has managed to withstand the passage of time, but he is at a loss for words. The only way for the youth to survive is to dwell within the poet’s works.
