In death and blood,
In ruin and tears,
Find the Seven.
Listen now, attend and see,
Tell us, poor thing, are you not glad?
Find the Seven."

"The stars are forth, the moon above the tops
Of the snow-shining mountains. Beautiful!
I linger yet with Nature... and in her starry shade
Of dim and solitary loveliness,
I learn'd the language of another world." (Byron)
