Tho’ much is taken, much abides, and tho’

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, and not to yield

Lines 44-49, Ulysses, Tennyson, 1842
