from To Virgil, Written at the Request of the Mantuans 
for the Nineteenth Centenary of Virgil's Death

Thou that seëst Universal
     Nature moved by Universal Mind,
Thou majestic in thy sadness
     at the doubtful doom of human kind,

Light among the vanish'd ages,
     star that gildest yet this phantom shore,
Golden branch amid the shadows,
     kings and realms that pass to rise no more –

– Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1882)
