Beautifully hopeful. Happiness would be not in having someone of that inspirational measure within our lives, but in being that hope in which another relies. For in being that hope is more sprung from the painter's brush or the writer's pen; the sculpture's stone and the potter's clay. Beauty begets beauty and love love, but only in its own way.
The fifth line...
"Then CAN I drown an eye" was recited as "Then I CAN drown and eye,"
It may seem the same but I believe it carries a very different meaning and inflection on "I".
As arguably described as the most perfect sonnet in the English language, i believe every single word is perfectly arranged to make the point.

I love Shakespeare's sonnets. Thank you.
