Love gives inspiration, but it often flashes by

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 on Silvia in the day,

There is no day for me to look upon.....

I love this love poem that appears repeatedly in the play, and it is also the red thread that connects Shakespeare Ovira's love.

But if they can love, they can marry to each other, will it exists forever?! I don't think so.
