Peter Dronke has commented that there was something intrinsic to its flexible form that contributed to its survival far beyond its region of origin. The sonnet is believed to have been created by Giacomo da Lentini, leader of the Sicilian School under Emperor Frederick II. By the 13th century it signified a poem of fourteen lines that follows a very strict rhyme scheme and structure.Īccording to Christopher Blum, during the Renaissance, the sonnet was the "choice mode of expressing romantic love." As the sonnet form has spread to languages other than Italian, however, conventions have changed considerably and any subject is now considered acceptable for writers of sonnets, who are sometimes called "sonneteers," although the term can be used derisively.

A shudder in the loins engenders there The broken wall, the burning roof and tower And Agamemnon dead.A sonnet is a poetic form which originated in the Italian poetry composed at the Court of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in Palermo, Sicily. Yeats' Leda and the Swan: A sudden blow: the great wings beating still Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds. What candles may be held to speed them all?
