Darkened Daybreak, Stolen Light
By Sue Jacob & Belen Altamirano
The sky rejuvenates bringing new surprises,
As the twilight sky shifts and melts away.
Birds awake and a new day arises.
Morning becomes grey, yet I still go out to play.

Just how bright light dwindles into dark night,

The colorful sky fades and begins to rain.
The sky is not bright, there is close to no light.
It's almost as if it were crying in pain

For a moment the morning was so divine,

Before pollution distended its beauty.
But I held that painted sky with my young eyes
Memorizing the painted lines of clarity.

How can morning fade into a dark day?

Someone tell me why things must be this way.

Sonnet 33
By William Shakespeare
Sonnet Erasure
Full many a glorious morning have I seen,
Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye,
Kissing with golden face the meadows green;
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy:
Anon permit the basest clouds to ride, A morning did shine, but alack, was
With ugly rack on his celestial face,
And from the forlorn world his visage hide
masked from me.
Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace:
Even so my sun one early morn did shine,
With all triumphant splendour on my brow,
But out alack, he was but one hour mine,
The region cloud hath masked him from me now. Translation:
A moment so bright and beautiful can quickly be taken and
Yet him for this, my love no whit disdaineth,
filled with darkness.
Suns of the world may stain, when heaven's sun staineth.

 Belens Analysis
In Sonnet 33, the poet reveals how light can be taken away in an instant by a darker force: through imagery the light is lost and
darkness appears. William Shakespeare's use of imagery portrays the morning as something precious, while his use of imagery also portrays
the disgraceful clouds as an almost evil force (antagonist), stealing away the glory of the morning. This contrast makes the clouds appear to
be much more overpowering which gives this image a sense of superiority over the image of the morning in the beginning of the sonnet. The
couplet in the end brings back light and hope into the sonnet through its diction; despite going through a difficult time, the sonnet proceeds
and doesnt lose hope, for it knows that the sun will shine again and bless them with another glorious morning.
The contrast of the wordsglorious, and disgrace,portray the mood Shakespeare has towards the morning and towards the dark
clouds and these words assist in the transitions of the mood throughout the sonnet. Shakespeare also used similar sounds in his poetic
dictiondisdaineth, stain, staineth, and whit, world, whentie everything together at the end. The diction in this sonnet is very
symbolic because it uses imagery (ex. morning and clouds) to portray the moods throughout the sonnet; for example, everything in the
morningKissing with golden face the meadows green, and heavenly alchemy is shown with beauty and light, while the cloudsugly,
forlorn, stealing, and disgraceare portrayed in an ugly and dark way. Together all these factors suggest that Shakespeare meant to
portray how something full of joy can easily be stolen by something dark, however, one must not forget what light and joy are capable of.
In the end Shakespeare reveals how even the brightest moments can be consumed by darkness. There are somethings that no one has
control of. However, one must not lose hope and forget all the glorious gifts that joy and light brings. Though that darkness may seem to win
at times, his love for light and the gifts that morning brought him will overshine the darkness. Through his eyes, heart, and mind the
goodness and the light will live on. The writer knows in his heart that even when the clouds seem to consume everything and steal the light,
the morning with always find a way to shine and bring joy back into the world.
 Sues Analysis
Sonnet 33 is about how something seemingly perfect or surreal can easily be stolen from you. The gist of the
poem is that even something so tragic can occur easily and sometimes the only thing left to do is accept that
it has already transpired. The poem starts off luminous, openingly describing the natural beauty of the
landmarks, up to the point where the speaker of the poem tries to reverse the gloominess that starts to settle
in-Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy. The sonnet then transitions to a dark tone where the
speaker questions himself, who has taken this away from me?-Anon permit the basest clouds to ride. The
speaker describes that someone has taken away this light and happiness so suddenly, however, soon enough
this familiar lambency is seen again until it is once again withdrawn-But out alack, he was but one hour
mine. Although the speaker has felt this unfairness and sadness, the speaker still understands that he can not
be angry with whoever is doing this to him, because his love will never be as worthy as this character who
takes this happiness away from him-Yet him for this, my love no whit disdaineth.
