Sonnet 43 (featuring Sian Phillips)

When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,

For all the day they view things unrespected

But when I sleep in dreams they look on thee

And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.Then thou whose shadow, shadows doth make bright,

How would thy shadow's form, form happy show

To the clear day with thy much clearer light

When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines soHow would, I say mine eyes be blessed made

By looking on thee in the living day

When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade

Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stayAll days are nights to see till I see thee

And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me
