Detailed explanation-1: -"My Love is like to ice, and I to fire, ” also known as “Amoretti XXX, ” is number 30 in Edmund Spenser’s 1595 sonnet sequence about his courtship and marriage to Elizabeth Boyle. In this poem, the speaker describes how he loves his beloved with fiery passion even as she meets his desire with cold disinterest.
Detailed explanation-2: -In “Sonnet 30, ” the speaker rehashes all the injuries and disappointments of life: dead friends, lost pleasures, squandered opportunities. For the speaker, neither memory nor time itself diminishes the pain of these losses: just to think about them brings them back in their full power and difficulty.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Sonnet 30” by Edmund Spenser dramatizes the conflict of a man’s burning desire to be with a woman who has no interest in him. Edmund Spenser uses the metaphorical comparisons of dramatically opposites, fire and ice. The man is fire, who is obsessed for this ice cold hearted woman, which returns nothing.
Detailed explanation-4: -The poem is made up of three quatrains, or sets of four lines, and one concluding couplet, or set of two rhyming lines. They follow a consistent rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG and are written in iambic pentameter. This means that each line contains five sets of two beats, known as metrical feet.
