Shall I compare Thee to Summer’s day?, 2018. Acrylic on canvas, 10x10 inches
Shall I compare Thee to Summer’s day?/Thou Art more lovely, and more temperate/Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May/And summer’s lease hath all too short a date/Sometime, too hot the eye of heaven shines/And often is his gold complexion dimmed,/And every fair from fair sometime declines/By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed./But thy eternal beauty shall not fade/Nor loose possession of that fair thou o west,/Nor shall Death brag thou wander rest in his shade/When in eternal lives to time through growest./As long as men can breathe,/And eye can see,/So long lives this,/And this gives life to thee.”
~Sonnet 18, Wm Shakespeare
