Where is your ancient courage? You were used to say extremities was the trier of spirits That common chances common men could bear That when the sea was calm all boats alike showed mastership in floating.
William Shakespeare
Image
Our wills and fates do so contrary run, That our devices still are overthrown Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.
