낯대 시필사 소모임 프로젝트

내 그대를 여름날에 비할 수 있을까?
그대는 훨씬 사랑스럽고 온화한 것을,
거친 바람은 5월의 향긋한 꽃봉오리들을 흔들고
우리에게 허락된 여름은 짧구려.


Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (Sonnet 18)

William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616

Shall I compare thee to a 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 summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
