Response to Sonnet 129

The speaker in Sonnet 116 seems flummoxed over the fact that himself and the subject are not in love, or more in love because they think so much alike. Two pictures are represented in this sonnet. One is of a boat passing a lighthouse, and the other is the end of time. This may be able to be explained together as the speaker saying that their love will endure until the end of time even though, like boats on water, they, unless guided properly will just pass on without stopping. This sonnet could also be interpreted as beauty changes with time, but love will endure all, like a lighthouse that is a constant on a shoreline. There is a triple negative in the last line, which is odd, and may be able to represent the theme because with each negative, the meaning changes, but with the three negatives, the original negative meaning is preserved, like love is said to be preserved.
