                                       ... 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.

Very occasionally editing to correct obvious errors or add facts from my own knowledge. Currently re-learning celestial navigation. Ulysses78 (talk) 05:23, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
