Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

— Last lines from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18, published this year and, four centuries later, still "eternal lines"
