Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, / Or what's a Heaven for? / - R. Browning, Andrea del Sarto
To me, and to everyone who has remained here the result of this effort is the appeal it makes to our imagination, as one of the most gallant stories in Polar History. That men should wander forth in the depth of a Polar night to face the most dismal cold and the fiercest gales in darkness is something new; that they should have persisted in this effort in spite of every adversity for five full weeks is heroic. It makes a tale for our generation which I hope may not be lost in the telling. / Scott's Diary, at Cape Evans
