He has given \r\nus a love poem: one that no Dark Lady would easily resist.  (Becca Menon, Becca Books, NYC)<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nI read your translation\/adaptation of sonnet 53 and enjoyed it <\/span><\/span>\u2015<\/span><\/span> a strange effect of translations \r\nis sometimes one understands an aspect of the original better in the translation; Shakespeare<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>s \r\nalready moderately remote from us, that is our use of the English. So your translation brings \r\nseveral aspects of the original to light which are perhaps a bit opaque in the original.  \r\n(Howard Giskin, Department of Modern and Classical Languages, University of  Connecticut, Storrs)<\/span><\/span>\r\n<\/strong><\/pre>\n
