Until she smiled on me;
Oh! then I saw her eye was bright,
A well of love, a spring of light.

But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.

George Steiner

Stuart Seaton
