St. 1.
“
The face, which, duly as the sun,
Rose up for me with life begun,
To mark all bright hours of the day
With hourly love, is dimmed away —
And yet my days go on, go on.
— Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Rose up for me with life begun,
To mark all bright hours of the day
With hourly love, is dimmed away —
And yet my days go on, go on." in the context of "St. 1." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
