Sonnet 53 is the most famous poem so far in Section 4, and it's often viewed as a meditation on beauty. While this is a valid interpretation, in this episode, I will dramatically expand the scope of this sonnet. Rather than just the simple concept of beauty, Shakespeare ponders the complex question of what does it mean to create art with hidden layers, knowing that he'll be dead before it's ever discovered, if it's ever discovered at all.
