Immortality and love are themes that Edmund Spenser explores. The majority of the poem is devoted to his attempts to immortalize his true love. No matter how hard he tries, he never seems to succeed in what he strives for. Spenser illustrates the inevitable nature of death by using the imagery of the sand and waves. In addition, while he keeps writing in between the waves, he confronts death and tries to outlive it. This demonstrates the power of his love in the face of overwhelming difficulties.
