I will be calm. I will be mistress of myself.
Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
George Gordon, Lord Byron
She Walks in Beauty

~ on the strength and beauty of the individual soul ~
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
