- Edna St. Vincent Millay made use of imagery in her sonnet. Instead of saying that love cannot help someone with lung disease breathe, she says thickened lung with breath(5). This use of thickened to describe a lung creates a grotesque scene. The purpose of creating a grotesque scene was to further downplay the usefulness of love.A grotesque scene also helps build seriousness in an argument that seems pretty absurd in modern times. Comparing love to things like the necessity of food and drinking from an objective standpoint but through the use of imagery Millay was able to make an argument. Another example of imagery Millay uses was line 2 when she said a roof against the rain. This statement again allows you to picture something else love cannot provide.
- The turn after line 12 was the conclusion of the doubt that Millay had towards the end of the poem. Before the turn, Edna St. Vincent Millay speaks badly of love. Millay describes all of the things that love cannot do in an attempt to convince the reader that love is unnecessary. Before the turn, Millay speaks in a formal and objective manner toward love. After the turn doubts that love is unnecessary and claims that they should not get rid of it. The author also speaks fondly of love after the turn.
