William Shakespeare
Unrivalled master of fine metaphors.
Your works strike lightnings through our clouded brains
Revealing, to our startled senses, truths
We could not not apprehend before out minds
Perceived the brilliance of your verbal flares.
The forceful thunder of your intellect
Reverberates against the sounding-boards
Of our imaginations, sending strong
Vibrating echoes which invigorate
Our wakened spirits and invoke for us
Fresh revelations about humankind.
With your clear psychological insights
And verbal artistry so skilfully refined,
You brighten our dull lives with metaphoric lights.
