It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be that we shall touch the Happy Isles, 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.
(Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
Moim Rodzicom, dzięki którym jestem kim jestem
(To My Parents, thank to whom I am who I am)
