Shakespeares Sonette: Sonnet 20
Shakespeares Sonette by Robert Wilson and Rufus Wainwright at the Berliner Ensemble, 2009 Sonnet 20 A woman s face with nature s own hand painted, Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion; A woman s gentle heart, but not acquainted With shifting change, as is false women s fashion: An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling, Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth; A man in hue all hues in his controlling, Which steals men s eyes and women s souls amazeth.
