"Tho' 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." Tennyson - "Ulysses":
I, like KFC quite fierce, find this poem more meaningful these days.

unless the whole will, the matter ends, and I take up my musket and
thank Heaven He has put it in my power."
