"Lengan-lengan cinta melingkari leher Harapan, Dan Harapan mencium Cinta, dan Cinta menarik napas. Dalam ciuman yang dekat itu dan meminum kisah bisikannya. Mereka mengatakan bahwa Cinta akan mati ketika Hope pergi. Dan Cinta berkabung lama, dan kesedihan setelah Harapan; Akhirnya dia mencari Memori, dan mereka menginjak jalan lama yang sama di mana Cinta telah berjalan dengan Harapan, Dan Memori memberi makan jiwa Cinta dengan air mata."

--- Alfred Lord Tennyson

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Love's arms were wreathed about the neck of Hope, And Hope kiss'd Love, and Love drew in her breath In that close kiss and drank her whisper'd tales. They said that Love would die when Hope was gone. And Love mourn'd long, and sorrow'd after Hope; At last she sought out Memory, and they trod The same old paths where Love had walked with Hope, And Memory fed the soul of Love with tears.
