Love Portrait
How shall I define my love of you?
It is not easy, since it has too many aspects.
First of all, your beauty is not your first thing
and not what I love most in you,
but what it is a mirror of
which is all that which is not seen
but the more strongly felt and recognized
as something much more precious than your beauty.
Let's go deeper into this, because here is the clue:
the outward mirrors of your soul are so remarkable
reflecting depths and faculties that multiply your character
into a maze of wonders and enigmas
but at the same time of wisdom and reliability,
a singular trustworthiness of wonderful profundity
and rare presentiment and foresight
of, I would not hesitate to say, prophetic character;
while at the same time you are honest like a child,
your soul is bare and visible to all the world
which makes it quite inevitable
that the whole world can but love you.
