Part IV. Loving

A new World Broad with Hope

Shakespeare's Sonnet LXXXIII Transbliterated (108)

Shakespeare

I never saw that you did painting need,
And therefore to your fair no painting set;
I found, or thought I found, you did exceed
That barren tender of a poet’s debt:
And therefore have I slept in your report,
That you yourself, being extant, well might show
How far a modern quill doth come too short,
Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow.
This silence for my sin you did impute,
Which shall be most my glory being dumb;
For I impair not beauty being mute,
When others would give life, and bring a tomb.
    There lives more life in one of your fair eyes
    Than both your poets can in praise devise.

Transbliteration

Never have I seen a painting that needed to be
	Nor any painter I needed to be with

But having found one
	Beyond what I could have ever expected
This poet's barren sacrifice
	Sleeping in ignorance
	Kept behind appearances
Flies forth into a new world
	Broad with hope


		Bravery commands
		Valor preaches
		Sin questions
	As a simpleton
Which of these speaks glory?

Beauty
	So contained by silence
Is nothing
	Without the life of your beautiful eyes
		Alive more than any
		More than a poet could create
			Beyond wonder
