În locul lui menit din cer // Hyperion se-ntoarse // Şi, ca şi-n ziua cea de ieri, // Lumina şi-o revarsă.
“Luceafărul” eminescian a fost omologat de World Records Academy drept cel mai lung poem de dragoste:
The Legend of the Evening Star (“Luceafarul”) is a story about a young princess who prayed to the evening star each night. The evening star falls in love with her and is willing to give up his immortality, but realizes that the pure love he has for the young girl cannot be sustained in the mortal world.
