PLEASE HELP ME The Black Land I WILL plough the land, Turning up the black soil. I will ride upon this heaving surface As a boat rides upon the water. Even as a boat Cleaving the water with an eager keel, I have run a furrow Straight across the ridges. I will sow down this field, Scattering gems. With both hands will I scatter Quivering emeralds out of a bottomless pouch. As I tread the loam My feet sink deep. The black earth embraces my ankles And clings to my bent knees. I sing as I go Scattering emeralds. The wind sings upon my lips, And pearls stream off my neck and forehead. I am bathed in a sweat of pearls. Eyes straight forward Rest on a brightening ultimate slope,

1.   in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty.   through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3.   the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.
