How do I structure this sentence?

In my essay, I've written this sentence:

The sonnet begins with the paradoxical statement, “When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see, For all the day they view things unrespected."

But my problem is that I want to continue the sentence past the quote which is a sentence in itself. Since the passage I've included from the poem ends at a period, can I still continue my sentence like this?:

The sonnet begins with the paradoxical statement, “When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see, For all the day they view things unrespected." to illustrate how the narrator's dreams are more enjoyable than his reality.
