In Sonnet 30, the speaker suggests that love has the power to conquer time and fate. Despite the hardships and losses described in the sonnet, the memory of a loved one can bring solace and alleviate the pain of the past. Ultimately, the enduring power of love can transcend the limitations imposed by mortality.
