THE TEST OF TIME

Suppose you’re a creator. Among architecture, sculpture, music, and literature, which do you think offers the most promise of an enduring monument? Explain your answer.
the art that offers the most promise of an enduring monument on my opinion are most of all architecture, sculpture, and a little of literature, Why? architectire is the base to built anything, and back in times most of the workers where architectures, also sculpture give the theme to the monuments, if not now in days all the monuments woculd not have sense at all. and literature also because on base with that, back in times architectures and sculpture built their things, leading up to literature and all their believes, thoughts, etc.

Irony is the discrepancy between expectations and reality. Explain the fundamental irony in the sonnet.
