Original artwork, not a still
Love, unconquerable, Waster of rich men, keeper Of warm lights and all-night vigil In the soft face of a girl: Sea-wanderer, forest-visitor! Even the pure immortals cannot escape you, And mortal man, in his one day’s dusk, Trembles before your glory.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Love is addressed as a power nobody can defeat, ruining the wealthy and glowing in a girl's gentle face through sleepless nights. It roams sea and forest, no god escapes it, and mortals, in their brief day, tremble before its glory.
