Sonnet 53
Shakespeare's Sonnet 53, presumably addressed to the same young man as the other sonnets in the first part of the sequence, raises some of the most common themes of the sonnet: the sublime beauty of the beloved, the weight of tradition, and the nature and extent of art's power. ==Paraphrase== What are you made of that causes you to be reflected in millions of ways? Everyone else has only one shadow, but you, though you are only one person, are reflected in everything. Someone who attempts to paint Adonis ends up creating only a faint imitation of you; again, someone who attempted to paint Helen would end with a picture of you in Greek dress. If someone speaks of the springtime or the harvest time, then the former is a mere shadow of your beauty, the latter an equally faint shadow of your fruitfulness. We see you in every beautiful thing we see, but there is one way in which you are unlike anything else—in your constancy and fidelity. One notes how the beloved's beauty is compared to both a man's (Adonis) and a woman's (Helen). Cf. ''Sonnet 20'' where the beloved's beauty is also compared to both a woman's and a man's beauty.
