Sonnet 73

This sonnet I find is true to most people, if not all people.  When you look at someone, you remember the significant things about them and the times you've cherished.  This sonnet is saying exactly that.  The speaker is asking the subject what they remember when they look at or recall the speaker.  He's asking if their memories are of him old and near death or as a young and lively man.  I also believe that he speaker wants his subject to remember all the times they had together and to remember that he's near death.  He wants this because with all relationships, people love something more when they know they'll lose it so for the speaker, it's almost like a final cry for what he's been longing for.
