A Poetic Inquiry

The process of searching for sonnets that relate to my big question wasn't very hard actually since my big question is about beauty.  No matter what era the sonnet was written in, beauty is always a well written topic.  I realized as I was looking for one that related to beauty, however,  that aging is also involved in the "deterioration" of beauty.  This made me update my own big question into including it in my question.
