Respuesta :

i think he means consumed in an artistic sense? not necessarily consuming something physical, but something philosophical.

Answer:

Explanation:

This sonnet revolves around the idea of getting advanced in years through the use of seasonal images of decay. "Consumed" refers to the abatement and decreasing state of the speaker of the poem. It is also of importance to mention that time plays a significant role in the poem, precisely because it is time which causes the human body be brought to maturity. Accordingly, the idea of being cosumed deals with the fact that life is being destroyed over time.
