PROMETHEUS UNBOUND

"To suffer woes, which Hope thinks infinite;

To forgive wrongs, darker than death or night;

To defy Power, which seems omnipotent;

To love, and bear; to hope till Hope creates.

From its own wreck the thing it contemplates;

Neither to change, nor falter, nor repent;

This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be

Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free;

This is alone Life, Joy, Empire, and Victory."
