Sonnets in English which are famous enough to have their own Wikipedia articles

[marnanel]

I think you should go and read some of them today.

• Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour
• The inscription on the Statue of Liberty (* terms and conditions apply)
• ...silent, upon a peak in Darien
• On the late massacre in Piedmont, of which I have never heard, which is probably my own fault
• I met a traveller from an antique land... (bonus: you also get the runner-up in the competition it won, which contains the wonderful phrase "Stands a gigantic Leg")
• How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways / (I think you're sexy, beautiful and clever / This sonnet's memorable, and full of praise / They read it out at every wedding, ever.)
• Washington Crossing the Delaware "oh look every line is an anagram of the title; also I have too much time on my hands"
• When I have fears that I may cease to be / (I go and make myself a cup of tea)
• The world is too much with us
• a ton of Shakespeare's stuff, of course
• each of Coleridge's Sonnets on Eminent Characters gets its own article, which seems slight overkill

I have been sitting here for 10 minutes looking at DW's Latest Things. Your post was the first and only one so far which interested me. Thank you! I shall mark it and read over the links today! :)
