I have always been fond of Tennyson:
Though 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.
That brought me out in goosebumps.
Great verse is a thing of beauty, and a thing of beauty is a joy and inspiration forever.
