I was about to quote the same reference. You beat me to it. No matter. I treasure that whole poem and carry it around in my mind at all times.
Great to encounter someone else who knows about it.
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.
— Alfred, Lord Tennyson [1809–1892]
