“Old аge hаth yet his hоnоr аnd his tоil.             Death closes all; but something ere the end, Some work of noble note, may yet be done, … 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.”
