"A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs; The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays."

Be happy, be happy; you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.

— Oscar Wilde
