In a great cause: the block may soak their gore:
Their heads may sodden in the sun; their limbs
Be strung to city gates and castle walls—
- But still their Spirit walks abroad. Though years
- Elapse, and others share as dark a doom,
- They but augment the deep and sweeping thoughts
- Which overpower all others, and conduct
- The world at last to Freedom.
--LORD BYRON, Marino Faliero
