The Valley of Decision

Prima che incontro alla festosa fronte

I lugubri suoi lampi il ver baleni.

Zu neuen Ufern lockt ein neuer Tag.

The Vision touched him on the lips and said:

Hereafter thou shalt eat me in thy bread,

Drink me in all thy kisses, feel my hand

Steal 'twixt thy palm and Joy's, and see me stand

Watchful at every crossing of the ways,

The insatiate lover of thy nights and days.

Where are the portraits of those who have perished in spite of their vows?
