Consultants are well-known for their love for putting things in slide form, so how would a consultant render Shakespeare’s sonnet “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?” (Hat tip to S. Wang)
The original text:
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
The consultant version:
from Something Awful:
How slide-umentational!
(Edit: Although E. Suh and Shakespeare Geek both point out that these slides are pretty good — a real consultant would have bullet points all over the place)
