SIDGWICK REDUX

I couldn't resist adding one more Sidgwick treasure: the world's shortest fourteen-line sonnet.
abbaabba cdcdee. Impeccable.
An Aeronaut to His Lady


I 
Through
Blue
Sky
Fly
To
You.
Why?

Sweet
Love,
Feet
Move
So
Slow.

    There's the famous, comparably short one by Jules de Resseguier (1788-1862): Was Sidwick emulating him?
    Fort
    Belle,
    Elle
    Dort ;
    Sort
    Frêle !
    Quelle
    Mort !

    Rose
    Close,
    La
    Brise
    L'a
    Prise.
