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.
~ Tennyson Ulysses Above a quote from Tennyson Via 'Skyfall'. I am exploring themes of courage and sacrifice for a feature film. In this quote Tennyson reminds us not to identify with the past or the image of heroism that our minds have constructed. Rather he implores us to see the value of who we are now.
