Love, unconquerable, Waster of rich men, keeper Of — Sófocles

Love, unconquerable, Waster of rich men, keeper Of warm lights and all-night vigil In the soft face of a girl: Sea-wanderer, forest-visitor! Even the pure immortals cannot escape you, And mortal man, in his one day’s dusk, Trembles before your glory.

Antigone, l. 781 (Ode III)
