“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long.

And feats of war defeats
With plain heroic magnitude of mind
And celestial vigour armed;”

Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown,
Suspended in time, between pole and tropic.”
