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

~ on the strength and beauty of the individual soul ~
