Abstract

The article explores the meaning and interpretation of the rare word "dribbed" in Philip Sidney's sonnet from Astrophil and Stella. Various scholars have offered conflicting interpretations of the term, with some suggesting it means "ineffectual or at random." The analysis delves into historical contexts, linguistic nuances, and poetic structures to unravel the complexity of Sidney's use of language and imagery in depicting the experience of falling in love. The author, Thomas Casalaspi, suggests that the sonnet challenges conventional notions of love and reality, inviting readers to consider the interplay between truth and illusion in poetic expression.
