“Every star, and every pow'r,
Look down on this important hour”

Joseph Addison (1672–1719) politician, writer and playwright

Queen Elinor in Rosamond (c. 1707), Act III, sc. ii.
Context: Every star, and every pow'r,
Look down on this important hour:
Lend your protection and defence
Every guard of innocence!
Help me my Henry to assuage,
To gain his love or bear his rage.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure,
Hast thou more of pain or pleasure!
Chill'd with tears,
Kill'd with fears,
Endless torments dwell about thee:
Yet who would live, and live without thee!

“The blind man carries a star on his shoulders.”

Antonio Porchia (1885–1968) Italian Argentinian poet

El hombre ciego lleva una estrella sobre sus hombros,
Voces (1943)
