Shakespeare Sonnet 18

In the Sonnet 18, Shakespeare praises a woman's beauty by comparing it to the summer. Especially Shakespeare emphasize May. In May, flowers come into bloom, winds become soft, and everything become lovely. After all the loveliness filled the world, however, they disappear as fall is coming. Shakespeare wants to capture the moment of beauty in May. So at the very last line, Shakespeare writes the purpose of the poet. He wants to remember the time when the woman was most beautiful on her life.
