M女士念的詩

「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.」

---------Alfred Tennyson, 「Ulysses」, 1842

儘管已達到的多，未知的也多啊，
雖然我們的力量已不如當初，
已遠非昔日移天動地的雄姿，
但我們仍是我們，英雄的心
儘管被時間消磨，被命運削弱，
我們的意志堅強如故，堅持著
奮鬥、探索、尋求，而不屈服。
（飛白譯）

---------阿爾弗雷德·丁尼生，《尤利西斯》
