A little snippet of Alfred, Lord Tennyson coming at you, courtesy of the Benjamin Lee.
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, to find, and not to yield.
- from Ulysses
Hannah Bader!
ReplyDeleteI hope if you run into Tennyson in the great beyond you greet him as "ol' Alfred." I am loving reading about your work and worship. Be safe.
I leave you with a little from ol' T.S.:
What they had to leave us—a symbol:
A symbol perfected in death.
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
By the purification of the motive
In the ground of our beseeching.
from Little Gidding (No. 4 of The Four Quartets)
