We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth & heaven,that which we are,We are,
1 equal temper of Heroic hearts,
Made weak by time & fate,but strong in will
To Strive,to Seek, to Find,& not to Yield.
-Tennyson

Some follow-ons from yesterday /1

Odysseus in front of Scylla by Henry Fuseli (I love Fuseli!)
The upper bit is very much as I envisioned if I were to try painting it.
Too bad Fuseli beat me to it by 200+ years 🤪. Not that I could come anywhere close.
