what does this lines mean to you?

Question

"But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ows't.
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grows't"

Answer 1

It means go play golf.

Answer 2

Shakesphere? Riddles and Rhymes it doesn't refer exactly to death because of line 3. But in lie 1 eternal summer shall not fade meaning death in some form. It's gotta mean eternity after death.

Answer 3

It's saying that you'll live forever, but since we know that's not possible, it's a metaphor for immortality. Its message is "You will live forever in our minds in your prime." For example: Bruce lee, Jim Morrison, and Marilyn Monroe. We never think of them as looking old, being sick, dying, or losing the youthful traits that made them so great.
"But thy eternal summer shall not fade" (never-ending youth)
"Nor lose possession of that fair thou ows't." (never get old & wrinkly)
"Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade," (never remembered as sick and/or in the process of dying)
"When in eternal lines to time thou grows't" (your memory will run parallel to time - never being altered, never being forgotten)

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Answer 4

In the context of the rest of the sonnet, they mean that the youth he's talking to will never get old, or lose his looks, or die - because he's been immortalised in the lines of the poems. The sonnets have captured the youth at his peak of physical perfection, and he will live eternally that way in people's minds whenever they read them.
