Amoretti: Sonnet 78 Annotated

Lackyng my love I go from place to place,
lyke a young fawne that late hath lost the hynd:
and seeke each where, where last I sawe her face,
whose ymage yet I carry fresh in mynd.
I seeke the fields with her late footing synd,
I seeke her bowre with her late presence deckt,
yet nor in field nor bowre I her can fynd:
yet field and bowre are full of her aspect,
But when myne eyes I thereunto direct,
they ydly back returne to me agayne,
and when I hope to see theyr trew object,
I fynd my selfe but fed with fancies vayne.
Ceasse then myne eyes, to seeke her selfe to see,
and let my thoughts behold her selfe in mee.

Amoretti: Sonnet 78 Q&A

What is the central idea of Amoretti 78 by Edmund Spenser?

The lover misses his beloved, but finds no solace in looking around outside himself where she has been, places he remembers her. So he turns instead within himself, to consider who she really is and how he loves her, rather than looking around just to see her.
