"What light is light if Silvia be not seen?
What joy is joy, if Silvia be not by?
Unless it be to think that she is by And feed upon the shadow of perfection……
except I be by Silvia in the night, There is no music in the nightingale.
Unless I look on Silvia in the day, There is no day for me to look upon"
She will be my heroine for all time.
You will never age for me, nor fade, nor die.
