Here, manacled with "adamant Eterne," in an agony of impatience I quaffed the thirst-stimulating draught of unsatisfied longing as I strove fitfully to wear away the stubborn strips of leather which held me in bondage.
"Tropic Days"
E. J. Banfield
Before me there were no created things, Only Eterne, and I eternal last.
"Divine-Comedy-Longfellow-s-Translation-Complete"
Dante Alighieri
And she: O light Eterne of the great man To whom our Lord delivered up the keys He carried down of this miraculous joy, This one examine on points light and grave, As good beseemeth thee, about the Faith By means of which thou on the sea didst walk.
