It would say:<br>I am the same as lightning! Storm thy life<br>And threat'ning thunder, but thy flame O minstrel,<br>Thy heart's own fire, is as strong, as true,<br>As elementary as Fate's wild raving,<br>And though it throws its light but on a leaf,<br>That leaf may be eternal by the light<br>Thy soul hath shed on it. That steady flame<br>Burns on, when all the clouds have spent their fire,<br>And when the bowels of the earth have ceased<br>To growl in answer. Undisturbed, thy flame<br>Will live, defying Fate's alarm, a fearless,<br>Undying mighty word, as strong as lightning<br>And love's own sheen, thy soul's unwavering beacon.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Carmen+Sylva">Carmen Sylva</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=116589" data-title="The Glowworm de Carmen Sylva" data-description="The mountains lost in clouds, the giant firs/Standing out 'gainst the never-ceasing lightning,/Shaken by thunderpeals, in threefold strength,/As all the valleys echoed through the night./The mighty heads stormbent, the branches tossed/Into the she..."></div> </div> </div>
