To wake the warm enthusiasms of old!"
Till a voice passed: "Behind that granite mien
Lurks the imposing beauty of a Queen."
I looked anew; and saw the radiant form
Of Her who stays in stress, who guides in storm;
On the grave influence of whose eyes sublime
Men count for the stability of the time.†
†And wisdom and knowledge shall be
the stability of thy times.
Isaiah XXXIII. 6.
