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.
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.
RTC--Ulysses yet again tells us that even though he and his sailors
are old and don't have a lot of gas left in the tank, there's enough left to go
a little farther.
"Abides" is a word that means "remains."
These guys are a team with one heartbeat. They're old and
broken, but they still have the will to seek out and face challenges without
giving up. They can't bench-press
200 pounds anymore, but that won't stop them from trying anyway.
The phrase "strong in will / To strive, to seek, to
find, and not yield" means something like "we're strong because of
our will to strive" or "our will to strive is strong."
