The "eternal beauty" of Shakespeare's friend has been immortalized by Shakespeare in sonnet number 18, by emotions through which he portrayed the beauty and the usage of metaphor.
While reading sonnet number 18, any reader will form an image of Shakespeare's friend in his subconscious mind. The intense feeling by which Shakespeare presents his feeling and portrayed the beauty of his friend is remarkable.
The sonnet begins with the comparsion of Shakeapeare's friend with the "summer's day" and then he concluded saying that his friend is more lovely and temperate than summer's day, further in the sonnet he showed the superiority of his friend "eternal beauty" over the beauty of the nature.
In the ending couplet, Shakespeare consciously knew that this sonnet will immortalize the beauty of his friend, because all the coming generation will keep forming the glorious image of his friend while reading this sonnet. "so long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to thee"
