Ah, Henry V’s St. Crispin’s Day speech - one of my favorite Shakespeare passages! How fitting for today.
Must have been on the lips of more than a few in 1776, 1861, 1942, Irgun fighters in Israel from 1944 to 1948...etc. Henry V’s St. Crispin speech is your all-purpose fixer-upper, putting fire in bellies, iron in spines, and turning balls to brass in the face of adversity. Thank you, Billy Shakes. Time to get off our pity pots and do it. Let’s roll!
