봄

                                      Full many a glorious morning have I seen

                                      Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye,

                                      Kissing with golden face the meadows green,

                                      Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy.

                                                                  (The Sonnets 33)

                                      여러 번 나는 보았노라, 찬란한 아침 해가

                                      제왕 같은 눈으로 산봉우리를 즐겁게 하고,

                                      금빛 얼굴로 녹색의 초원을 입 맞추고,

                                      창백한 강줄기를 천국의 연금술로 빛나게 하는 것을.

                                                                    (셰익스피어『소네트 집』 33) 

                          저자: 셰익스피어

                          Lo, in the orient when the gracious light

                     Lifts up his burning head, each under eye

                     Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,

                     Serving with looks his sacred majesty.

                                 ( Shakespeare, The Sonnets  7 )

                          보라, 동녘에 찬란한 태양빛이

                          그 불타는 머리를 들면 지상의 무리들은

                          그의 새로 태어나는 광경을 우러러 보고

                          그 숭고한 존엄성에 경의를 표하누나.

                                              ( 셰익스피어,『소네트집』7  )
