That thou wilt come, thy word so sware, if thou a livesman be.”

Monuments of its own magnificence;
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium.”

Our faith and troth,
Like separated souls,
All time and space controls:
Above the highest sphere we meet
Unseen, unknown, and greet as angels greet.”
