      Sonnet 106 is a poem about beauty and addressed to the beloved of speaker. According to the speaker, the chronicles of old times had the mention of perfect beauty which is now possessed by his beloved. However no one has the skills to properly capture it. Even in the time of speaker, the people can wonder by seeing poet’s beloved. However they are not capable of describe it in their writing because her beauty can never be put in the words.

      In the poem, we find another important theme which is immorality of the beauty. We find that the poet has idealised the concept of beauty. According to him, the old poets did not have someone as beautiful as poet’s beloved is. Hence they only imagined it. Now that poet’s beloved is in the world, the people are still not capable of capturing it in their writings. Hence beauty is immortal.
