What’s more valuable than the gold
Is hidden in the heart of your soul;
The invincible spirit that will never be fragile and old.
Creating eternal emblems is its grandest goal.
The quest for goodness, truth, and beauty
Is the soul’s most pivotal duty.
Defeating the whips of time is the greatest victory.
The achievement, the pride, the honour, the glory,
Lie not in the rusts of oblivious Ozymandias, the king of kings
But in the melody of the nightingale that ceaselessly sings…
