Your loving eyes, your tender aspect collide with mine,
Quenched in the blast of desirous flame–tender light.
Celestial heaven dares to deny,
Of darkened shade the more,
Of golden ray the less,
Forever Valentine feel our happiness!
–Valentine Eternal
Which Earth and Heaven could not convulse,
A mighty lesson we inherit:
Thou art a symbol and a sign
To Mortals of their fate and force;
Like thee, Man is in part divine,
A troubled stream from a pure source;
And Man in portions can foresee
His own funereal destiny;
His wretchedness, and his resistance,
And his sad unallied existence:
To which his Spirit may oppose
Itself—and equal to all woes,
And a firm will, and a deep sense,
Which even in torture can descry
Its own concenter’d recompense,
Triumphant where it dares defy,
And making Death a Victory.–Lord Byron (Prometheus)
