Explore "Divine Copy" by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
She depicts her respectful love; she speaks to the portrait and is not silent as it is twice her master
Divine copy in which I see / the paintbrush presume, arrogant / when it sees that it has gone / where my desire could not go; / a high, sovereign use and mastery / of a more than human talent / free of impertinent boldness, / for your incredible beauty, / since it goes past what is possible, / cannot be reached even by thought.
