“And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.”

Soon will the high Midsummer pomps come on by Matthew Arnold

"Ve çelik gibi bir iradenin
yolunda tereddütsüz yürüdüm
kuşku ve korkuya düşmeksizin
öyle birşey öğrendimki bu dünyada
Birgün sende öğreneceksin
o iradeye, o güce pek az rastlansada
Asla, asla boy ölçüşemez
aşkla."
