Sonnet 50: How Heavy Do I Journey On The Way Comments

i like the story about sonnet it cool

This and the following sonnet deal with the heaviness of separation, caused by a journey which the poet has to make. He travels on horseback, as the condition of the roads, heavily rutted and often flooded, made travel in carriages impracticable, other than in towns. Shakespeare refers to the horse in this poem as if it were his own. But in any case he is not much concerned to speed on his journey, since it only seems to lead him onward into sorrow. Despite the melancholy of the poem, it is possible to find humour in the cleverness and wit in the description of the horse sharing the rider's unwillingness to travel. One could even see it as one of the 'sugared sonnets' which amusingly depict the boundless love the poet has for his friend and which show how that love enters into every aspect of his existence, including the most mundane and tedious, as this one of going on a journey.
