Bring me your children hither.
…
Unto this twain, man-child and womanchild,
I give the passion of this element;
This seed of longing, substance of this love;
This power, this purity, this annihilation.
Let their hands light the altar of the world.
'T is yours forever. I have brought it home!

Prometheus, in Act II - The Fire-Bringer (1904)
