HH: I find Sonnet 98 to be full of yearning - a tribute to the hole left in a person’s life in the absence of their lover. Before moving to Australia, for love, I very much connected to this dilemma, the inability to see any transcendence or beauty in my day to day. The hottest time of the year feeling altogether barren and cold without them. After moving to the other side of the world 2 years ago and being reunited with my love, I've begun to see the second meaning of this poem, the author's yearning for their home. Seeing the sonnets through the eyes of an potentially exiled Kit Marlow the words appear intimate feelings of an artist whose solitude and imagination are the only tools left to keep him connected to the love of his life.
