Image of Eternity



Thou glorious mirror, where the Almighty's form
Glasses itself in tempests; in all time,
Calm or convulsed,--in breeze, or gale, or storm,
Icing the pole, or in the torrid clime
Dark-heaving; boundless, endless, and sublime,
The image of Eternity,--the throne
Of the Invisible!

-George Gordon Noel Byron
6th Baron Byron (1788-1824),
The Ocean
