One should draw a beloved's sketch purely through imagination; what great feat is there in drawing a picture merely by copying an existing one?

The poet beautifully suggests that the highest art—and deepest love—comes from memory and imagination rather than direct copying. Anyone can replicate an existing portrait, but true mastery lies in letting the heart's inner vision recreate the beloved's presence on canvas. When you love someone completely, their image lives so vividly inside your soul that you need no outside reference to bring them alive.
