"Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are —
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
Ulysses (1842), l. 63-70
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson (6 August 1809 – 6 October 1892)
