To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield..

On this day, 105 years ago, the bodies of Scott, Wilson, and Birdie were found by Cherry and other members of the expedition. What really touches me about it is that Scott's hand was resting on Wilson's bag..they lived as friends and died as friends, and they didn't regret it. He was right in his Message to the Public when he said "Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman." The tale definitely tells about all those things, even though he didn't live. I will always be amazed at how well everyone got along with each other. When they got back to the hut they erected a cross nearby with the names of the lost party (along with Oates and Evans, who died earlier on the trip back) and "to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield," from the poem Ulysses by Lord Tennyson, which I think was Cherry's idea. RIP to some of the greatest guys who ever lived, you'll never be forgotten <3 (It's weird to think their bodies are still buried somewhere on the Ross Ice Shelf O_o)
