Sonnet 129
While William Shakespeare's reputation is based primarily on his plays, he first became famous through his poetry. Sonnet 129 is one of the 154 sonnets written by William Shakespeare. The 154 sonnets are typically divided between the “young man” sonnets (1-126) and the “dark lady” sonnets (127-152). There is no evidence that this division also indicates the chronology of the sonnets, however they are just traditionally read in such a manner. The composition date is unknown but it is generally thought that the Rival Poet series was written between 1598 and 1600 and published along with the rest of the sonnets in the 1609 Quarto.
== Paraphrase ==
Sonnet 129 is one of Shakespeare's most famous sonnets and centers around the idea of the human mind and it's primal urges. The sonnet consists of an unknown narrator having an internal mediation with himself about his sexuality; he fears it and harvests feelings of self-disgust for having such desires. "Omne animal post coitum triste est" is a Latin saying that is often quoted in association to sonnet 129. The phrase literally translates into "after sex, every animal is sad", because that is the 'message that the sonnet conveys. It speaks of the temptations of sex and the disappointments that it leads to. Shakespeare builds up the sonnet with imagery and desire. Shakespeare then ends it with the feeling of being a victim to lust, as well as the feelings of defeat and disappointment that ensues after the act is done and the desire is no longer there. "Sonnet 129 fixes and deprecates lust with...murderous precision" and Shakespeare leaves us questioning our own primal urges.
