Impeached Governor Blagojevich Cites Tennyson

January 9, 2009

Impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich ended his defiant press conference with a couple lines from Alfred Tennyson's "Ulysses."
"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."
It also appears that the Governor was confused as to why he was being impeached but at least he was quoting poetry. (via The Guardian)
