Detailed explanation-1: -The Power of Love The speaker of “Sonnet 30” spends most of the poem in despair: obsessively meditating on past disappointments, regrets, and sorrows. The speaker can’t find any relief: even the passage of time doesn’t heal these wounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -"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-3: -Sonnet 75 addresses the temporal nature of life and love-all things pass away like the words written in sand in this poem. Yet the theme is that love itself can transcend time in the spirit and memories of the lovers.
Detailed explanation-4: -“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.
