“No star from above
nor flower in the field
seems to me as fair
as the one I love.”

Nem no campo flores,
Nem no céu estrelas
Me parecem belas
Como os meus amores.

Sestina of the Space Rocket (1953)
Context: Yes, we hope to seed a new, rich earth.
We hope to breed a race of men whose power
Dwells in hearts as open as all Space
Itself, who ask for nothing but the light
That rinses the heart of hate so that the stars
Above will be below when man has Love.
Adelaide Anne Procter (1825–1864) English poet and songwriter
"Per Pacem ad Lucem".

Walter Scott The Lay of the Last Minstrel
Canto III, stanza 2.
The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805)
Context: In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed;
In war, he mounts the warrior's steed;
In halls, in gay attire is seen;
In hamlets, dances on the green.
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below, and saints above;
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Carole King (1942) Nasa
Will You Love Me Tomorrow (1960), Co-written with Gerry Goffin
