I enjoy it the way that a thieving butler enjoys having the same cup as the king. I love this poem not least because I see in it my own thoughts refined. But, in his sonnet, he does so by focusing on a single localized desire, a desire fixed on a particular point that has no other object than his muse. Shakespeare’s poem captures the tension between the desire of the pursuit and the satisfaction of possession that I was trying to show in my own poem. Basically, I was trying to find a very pretty way of saying that you cannot have your cake and eat it too.This morning I read Shakespeare’s Sonnet 75 (reproduced above) and I had one of those pleasantly humbling experiences where you realize your lack of originality places you in the company of greater minds than your own. In my own poem, The Rape of Tamar and the Half-life of Joy, I was attempting to show how everything we desire (wholesome or unwholesome), will disappoint us the moment after we enjoy the treasured thing and I hoped to demonstrate that such disappointment is universal and inescapable in this life. The disadvantage stems from the same truth you will rarely touch on anything that has not been written down by someone much more talented than you before.
