Let us finish the work we are in.
Though all the forces of darkness and man are arrayed against us, though the entropy of despair should sicken the soul and corrode the spirit, may we hold close the spark of courage, given us to in the moment of decisive significance. May that spark be sufficient to see us through the cold of night, the violence of battle, and the ridicule of critics both in society and within ourselves.
Though it would feel a greater relief and temptation to die, let us finish the work. By God, let us somehow finish the work.
