What light is light ?
If Silvia be not seen?
What joy is joy?
If Silvia be not by?
Unless it be to think that she is by . . .
and feed upon the shadow of perfection
Except i be by Silvia in the night
There is no music in the nightingale
Unless i look upon Silvia in the day
There is no day for me to look upon
She is my essence . . .
The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
William Shakespeare.
