One face cries nothing, Prospero,
My conscience is my own;
Pallid Sebastian does not know
The dream in which Antonio
Fights the white bull alone.
— from Antonio’s refrain in “The Sea and the Mirror,” by W. H. Auden

“Your need to love shall never know Me …”
“Your all is partial, Prospero.
“My will is all my own.
“Your need to love shall never know
“Me: I am I, Antonio
“By choice myself alone.”
— Antonio, refrain from W. H. Auden’s “The Sea and the Mirror”
