    Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind!
    Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art,
    For there thy habitation is the heart--
    The heart which love of thee alone can bind;
    And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd--
    To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom,
    Their country conquers with their martyrdom.
    - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron),
