“My soul, there is a country
Far beyond the stars
Where stands a wingèd sentry
All skillful in the wars”

“Ye quenchless stars! so eloquently bright,
Untroubled sentries of the shadowy night.”

“Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star. I wish upon tonight to see you smile, if only for a while to know you're there. A breath away's not far to where you are.”

“Never hesitate to go far away, beyond all seas, all frontiers, all countries, all beliefs.”

“Where is my dwelling place? Where I can never stand. Where is my final goal, toward which I should ascend?
It is beyond all place. What should my quest then be? I must, transcending God, into the desert flee”

“So I go to the long adventure, lifting
My face to the far, mysterious goals,
To the last assize, to the final sifting
Of gods and stars and souls.”

“I carry thoughts of you like my own personal constellation. How far away you are, my dearest friend, but no farther than those fixed stars in my soul.”

“I walk beyond town, many of these nights, to stand under the high autumnal stars, look upward and wonder.”

“Beyond the heaven there is the country of heart,
here dwell the deepest secret nobody knows,
here the bud see the bud, the mind
can't hide its darkness and the shadow
of the soul is illuminated,
and this is the miracle that's keeping
the stars in harmony orbit.”

“The soul of Adonais, like a star,
Beacons from the abode where the Eternal are.”
