Shakespeare's diction described the changing of the season from fall to winter. The line "When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang" described the time before it would snow in England. His diction also described the night in England. Time and season are important in this sonnet because it compared the changing season to a person on their deathbed. Shakespeare seemed to love this person very much and it seems like the person that is dying is his son, Hamlet.
