Owen is writing about the central ideas in "sonnet 18” by william shakespeare. but thy eternal summer shall not fade, nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, when in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, so long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to thee. what is the central idea of these lines?
the author’s loved one will overcome physical death and summer is eternal.
attraction, love, and mild summer days are all fleeting and soon disappear.
beauty is not defined by the outward appearance, but by the character inside.
the author’s loved one will always remain beautiful in the lines of this poem.

The answer is- The author’s loved one will always remain beautiful in the lines of this poem.

Elaboration:

In this sonnet by Shakespeare, he asks to compare a young man to a summer's day. Doing so, he notices that qualities of the young man are greater when compared. He also depicts that a summer's day is a subject of change which eventually diminishes. The speaker ends his poem claiming the man will be eternalized through his melodious lines.

We can also extract the irony hidden in the sonnet. The poem does not suggest a faint detail about the young man who is told to surpass a summer's day in terms of attributes. However, the poem thoroughly portrays a day of summer.

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
