"Courage is not the abnormal," wrote poet Jack Gilbert.
"Not the marvelous act. Not Macbeth with fine speeches.
It is the thing steady and clear. The marriage, not
the month's rapture. The beauty that is of many days.
The normal excellence, of long accomplishment. Not
the Prodigal Son, but Penelope."
Penelope from The Odyssey, not Penelope Pitstop!
