Samuel Daniel's Sonnet Thirty-Three

Daniel writes in line six, “Though spent my flame, in me the heat remaining.” He is saying that even though he is getting old, and he has spent his flame, that the heat and passion for her still remains after all of these years. He has loved her since

Daniel’s Delia relates to other sonnet sequences, such as Sir Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella. They are both expression of love from a man to a woman. Also, Sidney’s sonnets are filled with pain and suffering. This same heartache is shown in Samuel Daniel’s sonnets, although not as strong. They both show the agony of the heart as well as humility of a man when he is so deeply in love.

All of these subjects of love, pain, and agony identify with individuals in today’s world. Everyone can relate to the poems in some way. They show many qualities of humans, including love and heartache, as well as spite and unkindness. These emotions that are portrayed in these poems are what form relationships and make the world what is today. Samuel Daniel has taught what it is to be truly in love and how to express it through sonnet thirty-three. Many people have felt the same as the man speaking
