The personification of Quest✖SAINT✖Jacobs
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
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.
