hold high the brow serene,
O youth, where now you stand.
Let the brigth sheen
Of your grace be seen, Fair hope of my fatherland!

Google the first line for Jose Rizal's complete poem (or click on link below) and a lot more. I think I got a glimpse of what he meant. Thanks for this question! Beautiful stuff, pure love of one's country, delicate and true as precious crystal, or fine virgin lace. Then check out a video called "Crucible of Empire...the Spanish-American War" and learn the backdrop of this man's time & place....

Did you come up with this, it's really good. I imagine this means being unaffected by disturbance, calm and unclouded.
