Sonnet on a Wet Summer
'Sonnet on a Wet Summer' Summary
Bampfield's sonnet paints a vivid picture of a summer stifled by perpetual rain. He describes the dampened landscape, the gloomy skies, and the sense of frustration that pervades the season. The poem explores the contrast between the expected joy of summer and the actual experience of relentless wetness, reflecting the anxieties of the era about the influence of the weather on human lives. The sonnet reveals the poet's keen observation of the natural world and his mastery of poetic language to convey the melancholic mood of a seemingly endless summer downpour.Book Details
