    Girdles and breast bands, thou with dark eyelids
    Bearing the golden bough of Argicida.”

    “One who never turned his back but marched breast forward,
    Never doubted clouds would break,

    Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better,
    Sleep to wake.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)
