description: You re making deals. You re watching the market. Who has time to wonder what Robert Browning or Emily Dickinson meant when they wrote their antiquated 19th-cent. verse? Here, Silverstein, Poet Laureate of Wall Street, translates masterpieces of English poetry into a market-savvy language that today's investors can understand. Shakespeare's 'Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer s Day?' transforms into Shall I Declare Thee to the I.R.S.? Christopher Marlowe's 'A Passionate Shepherd to His Love' become A Passionate Broker to His Client. Lord Byron's immortal 'She Walks in Beauty, Like the Night' is reborn as She Walks to Work, at Goldman Sachs. A miracle of translation -- suddenly, all of the classic poems make cents!
