Answer:

Loved ones should spend as much time together as possible because life fades away quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the answer above, I believe this option would make the most sense. I could be wrong though, so here are the other options:

1. A dying person is associated with the elements of nature and the hope that they will be loved.

2. The power of love can cause even the old and dying to become young and vital again.

3. Loved ones should spend as much time together as possible because life fades away quickly.

4. Aging is compared to autumn, the sunset, and a dying fire.

However, I also believe that it couldn’t be 1 or 4 because those aren’t themes, and instead they’re like quick little summaries. So it has to be either 2 or 3, and like I said, I’m leaning more towards 3 :)

I believe that this sonnet is centralized on the process of aging… so i think the best possible theme is ‘Age’
