On the blackened spine of Psara,
Glory, pacing alone,
Broods on her shining heroes;
She crowns her hair with a band Born from the spare, few grasses That are left in the ruined land.

Dionysios Solomos

Enclose in your soul Greece (or something equal) and you shall feel every kind of grandeur.

Dionysios Solomos

We knew thee of old,
O divinely restored,
By the light of thine eyes And the light of thy sword.
From the graves of our slain Shall thy valor prevail As we greet thee again—
Hail, Liberty! Hail!
