Context paragraphs:
Sonnet 110: Sonnet 110 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  Sonnet 110 was published along with the other sonnets in the 1609 Quarto.  The sonnet falls in place with the Fair Youth sequence of Shakespeare's sonnets, in which the poet expresses his love towards a young man.  The mystery of the young man is still unknown today.  However, there are many different theories by various scholars of who this young man may be.  There has been much debate whether or not this sonnet was written about Shakespeare's disdain with the stage and actors.  Whereas others have interpreted sonnet 110 as the poet confessing his love to a young man.

Sonnet 20: Sonnet 20 is one of the best-known of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  Part of the Fair Youth sequence (which comprises sonnets 1-126), the subject of the sonnet is widely interpreted as being male, thereby raising questions about the sexuality of its author.  In this sonnet (as in, for example, Sonnet 53) the beloved's beauty is compared to both a man's and a woman's.

Sonnet 147: Sonnet 147 is one of 154 sonnets written by English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  Sonnet 147 is written from the perspective of a poet who regards the love he holds for his mistress and lover as a sickness, and more specifically, as a fever.  The sonnet details the internal battle the poet has between his reason (or head) and the love he has for his mistress (his heart).  As he realizes his love is detrimental to his health and stability, perhaps even fatal, the poet's rationality attempts to put an end to the relationship.  Eventually, however, the battle between the poet's reason and his love comes to an end.  Unable to give up his lover, the poet gives up rationale and his love becomes all consuming, sending him to the brink of madness.

Sonnet 15: Sonnet 15 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  It forms a diptych with Sonnet 16, as Sonnet 16 starts with "But...", and is thus fully part of the procreation sonnets, even though it does not contain an encouragement to procreate.  The sonnet is within the Fair Youth sequence.

Sonnet 29: Sonnet 29 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  It is part of the Fair Youth sequence (which comprises sonnets 1-126 in the accepted numbering stemming from the first edition in 1609).  In the sonnet, the speaker bemoans his status as an outcast and failure but feels better upon thinking of his beloved.  Sonnet 29 is written in the typical Shakespearean sonnet form, having 14 lines of iambic pentameter ending in a rhymed couplet.

Sonnet 1: Sonnet 1 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  It is a procreation sonnet within the Fair Youth sequence.

Sonnet 102: Sonnet 102 is one of the 154 sonnets written by English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  It is one of the Fair Youth sonnets, in which Shakespeare writes of an unnamed youth with whom the poet is enamored.  Sonnet 102 is among a series of seemingly connected sonnets, from Sonnet 100 to Sonnet 103, in which the poet speaks of a silence between his Muse and himself.  The exact date of writing is unknown, and there is contention among scholars about when they were written.  Paul Hammond among other scholars believes that sonnets 61-103 were written primarily during the early 1590s, and then being edited or added to later, during the early 1600s (decade).  Regardless of date of writing, it was published later along with the rest of the sonnets of the 1609 Quarto.

Sonnet 6: Sonnet 6 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  It is a procreation sonnet within the Fair Youth sequence.  The sonnet continues Sonnet 5, thus forming a diptych.  It also contains the same distillatory trope featured in Sonnet 54, Sonnet 74 and Sonnet 119.

Sonnet 72: Sonnet 72 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  It is a member of the Fair Youth Sequence, in which The Poet expresses his love toward a young man.  The Fair Youth Sequence includes Sonnet 1 through Sonnet 126.  Sonnet 72 prominently features a dark, morbid tone with references to death and the afterlife.

Sonnet 57: Sonnet 57 is one of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare.  It is a member of the Fair Youth sequence, in which the poet expresses his love towards a young man.  "Sonnet 57" is connected with "Sonnet 58" which pursues the theme of the poet as a slave of the beloved.
