Shakespeares Sonnet 23 and the Imagery of Parts and Wholes Illustration by Mirko Ilic, New York Times Book Review (1996) By NAME ENXXX Date Dr. Howe

Poet describes himself as unperfect (1) in his ability to express the forms and ceremon[ies] (6) of love Poet pleads with his beloved to read his love in his looks (9), which more perfectly express what he cannot in poetry

Shakespeare, Sonnet 23* As an unperfect actor on the stage Who with his fear is put besides his part, Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart. So I, for fear of trust, forget to say [5 The perfect ceremony of love's rite, And in mine own love's strength seem to decay, O'ercharged with burden of mine own love's might. O, let my looks be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, [10 Who plead for love and look for recompense More than that tongue that more hath more express'd. O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit. * Reading by Cori Samuels, available at Librivox.org

Is the whole more than the sum of its parts? Drawing Hands (1948), by M. C. Escher

What is the effect of this play of part and whole?

Illustrating perfection of emotion is impossible without a willing reader.

Only in poetryor creative expressioncan love be perfected.
