Of Helen of Troy:
Was this the face that launched a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss!

Here will I dwell, for heaven is in those lips,
And all is dross that is not Helena.

And fall into the ocean—ne'er to be found.

Our souls, whose faculties can comprehend The wondrous architecture of the world, And measure every wandering planet's course, Still climbing after knowledge infinite.
