Sonnet 292

The eyes I spoke of once in words that burn,
the arms and hands and feet and lovely face
that took me from myself for such a space
of time and marked me out from other men;

the waving hair of unmixed gold that shone,
the smile that flashed with the angelic rays
that use to make this earth a paradise
are now a little dust, all feeling gone;

and yet I live, grief and disdain to me
left where the light I cherished never shows,
in fragile bark on the tempestuous sea.

Here let my loving song come to a close,
the vein of my accustomed art is dry,
and this, my lyre, turned at last to tears.


Summary:
What I get out of this poem, is that he once loved someone, but now that person is gone. He has no more feeling because he has gone numb. He loved too much and now he is left with nothing. He has nothing left to do but cry because he lost the one he loved.

The top 3 characteristics of a successful alumnus are: responsible, active, and positive. I feel those are the top 3 because you have to be responsible in life. You have to take care of what needs taking care of. You need to be active,because in order to be responsible, you need to be active. And third to you need to be positive,because if you are always looking at the negative things rather than the positive, then all your going to get are negative results in life and also when you are a positive person the people tend to look up to you and follow in your footsteps. All 3 of these characteristics make up a good alumni.
