The poet is becoming cannier about the power of poetry; that in praising he might be considered one who exaggerates. This theme of the enduring nature of his words has been an emerging one over the last few sonnets. This notion can be explored via the workbook of practical activities and with the aid of the reading on the PowerPoint.
