According to Crosman, " W . H Auden, in his preface cites sonnet 15 as proof that the sonnets are not in chronological order . " However, he goes on to state that " Sonnet 12 through 15 stages little dramas in which the poet worries about the impact on himself of the young man's dying without making a copy of himself; the last of these 15 develops a strategy for dealing with this worry the poet will make copies of his beloved in verse . " This idea is further propelled by Schoenfeldt who claims that " The poet pledges to " engraft [ the young man ] new " ( ll . 13 14 ) in his verse.

In " Hawaii v . Mankichi " ( 1903 ) his opinion stated : " If the principles now announced should become firmly established, the time may not be far distant when, under the exactions of trade and commerce, and to gratify an ambition to become the dominant power in all the earth, the United States will acquire territories in every direction . . . whose inhabitants will be regarded as'subjects'or'dependent peoples,'to be controlled as Congress may see fit . . . which will engraft on our republican institutions a " colonial " system entirely foreign to the genius of our Government and abhorrent to the principles that underlie and pervade our Constitution ."

The first option, and the one preferred by the Justices who dissented from the remedial holding, " would engraft onto the existing system today's Sixth Amendment'jury trial'requirement . " The second, the one the Court ultimately adopted, made the Guidelines advisory while at the same time " maintaining a strong connection between the sentence imposed and the offender's real conduct & mdash; a connection important to the increased uniformity of sentencing that Congress intended its Guidelines system to achieve . " Although both remedies would " significantly alter the system that Congress designed, " the remedial majority observed that it was not possible to " maintain the judicial factfinding that Congress thought would underpin the mandatory Guidelines system " in light of the jury factfinding requirement the constitutional majority had applied to that system.

Stephen Booth, professor emeritus at the University of California Berkeley, notes that the " dividing line between the procreation sonnets and sonnets 18-126 " has a curious " imperceptibility, " but he goes on to assert that Sonnet 15's closing line " As he [ i . e . Time ] takes from you, I engraft you new " ( 15.14 ) is the " first of several traditional claims for the immortalizing power of verse . " This theme of poetic immortality is continued in later sonnets, including sonnet 17's closing couplet " You should live twice : in [ your child ] and in my rhyme, " in sonnet 18's last few lines " Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade / When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st . / So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee, " and sonnet 19's final line " My love shall in my verse live ever young ."
