Sonnet 62 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
Voyage To The infinite
On a clear day I heard the salling bells
Calling me toward a beautiful main 2
That echoes in mind's bottomless wells
And in which all my soul's hopes remain.
The ideas then came up to my head
As if we were already here to stay
And after dead we were not to be dead
With more joys and pain in other way...
With thoughts of being perhaps new creatures
In wonder I was able to converse
And mix with more people of all natures
To share messages of the universe.
From then on I have looked at my future
Rapt by the vastness of my adventure,

2-. main= ocean.
Analysis "Voyage To The infinite"
Introduction
Sonnet 62 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares, titled "Voyage To The Infinite," is a contemplative and introspective poem that explores the themes of life, death, rebirth, and the vastness of the universe.
Thematic Analysis
The sonnet begins with the speaker hearing "sailing bells" on a clear day, which symbolize a call to embark on a journey. This journey is not just physical, but also spiritual and intellectual, as it leads the speaker towards a "beautiful main" or ocean. This ocean is a metaphor for the infinite, the unknown, and the depths of the speaker's mind and soul.
In the second quatrain, the speaker contemplates the idea of life after death, suggesting that death is not the end but a transition to a different state of existence. This is a reflection on mortality and the possibility of an afterlife, which brings both joy and pain.
The third quatrain introduces the idea of transformation and rebirth, with the speaker imagining becoming "new creatures." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for personal growth and evolution. The speaker also expresses a desire to connect with diverse people and share universal truths, indicating a sense of unity and shared humanity.
The final couplet concludes the sonnet with the speaker looking towards the future, captivated by the vastness of their journey. This suggests a sense of awe and wonder at the infinite possibilities that lie ahead.
Overall, the sonnet uses vivid imagery and metaphors to explore profound existential questions. It encourages the reader to reflect on their own life journey, the mysteries of the universe, and the potential for personal transformation.
