  Sonnet 104
  To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
   For as you were when first your eye I ey'd,
  Such seems your beauty still.
  Three winters cold, Have from the forests shook three summers' pride,
  Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd, 
  In process of the seasons have I seen,
  Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,
  Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
   Ah! yet doth beauty like a dial-hand,
  Steal from his figure, and no pace perceiv'd;
  So your sweet hue, which methinks still dothstand,
   Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceiv'd: 
  For fear of which, hear this thou age unbred
  : Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead

  Theme
  The youth does not seem to have grown older at all in the three years.
  The future ages will have to know that beauty died before future ages were born.
  This sonnet deals with the destruction force of time as we grow older.

  To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
  For as you were when first your eye I ey'd;
  The speaker is reassuring the youth that, even if others say he is looking older and the youth sees it himself, the youth will always remain young and beautiful to him.
  The sense of sight dominates this poem, and Shakespeare introduces it here quite vehemently with the phrase “your eye I eyed.

   Three winters cold,
  Have from the forests shook three summers' pride
  Shakespeare personifies winter, who “shook” (a fitting image for the effect of the cold) the pride from summer, to convey the passage of three years.
  He uses this imagery to show how universally beauty takes things away.
  Shakespeare is contrasting the seasons' mutability with the constancy of his fair friend’s beauty.
  

• 14 слайд

  Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turned
  He reinforces the previous imagery by contrasting fall and spring. The leaves have died and fallen off the trees.
  

• 15 слайд

  Shakespeare concludes the octave by returning to the youth, who is described as “fresh” and “green.” The second epithet links the subject’s youth to the natural images he considered in the previous lines.
  Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
