Detailed explanation-1: -What proof does the speaker offer for his assertion in Sonnet 18, that his beloved’s “eternal summer shall not fade"? The friend will live in heaven. The speaker’s love will prevent the friend from dying.
Detailed explanation-2: -The poet makes this known particularly in the lines “So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see / so long lives this, and this gives life to thee.” While the poet is saying that his beloved’s beauty will last for as long as this poem exists, he is also saying that his poetry will be eternal.
