It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.

Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.

...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Uhh.. where's the anime?

An imaginative depiction of ancient Europeans, based upon many artefacts from the bronze and iron ages.
Also note the advanced anatomical representation for the time of this object's manufacture, which upset commonly accepted timelines for the development of European art.

The nude figure is commonly celebrated in European art as a bold proclamation of genetic health, truthfulness, vigor, and valor, from prehistoric rock carvings to this primitive sculpture of the so-called "warrior" of Hirschlanden, depicting a man nude save his hat and belt with dagger (note that he may be wearing a mask, but the damage to the sculpture makes this unclear). From the 6th century BC, it is contemporary with the Warrior of Capestrano and the Prince of Glauberg, pieces of similar composition but different local styles, as well as the Greek Kouros type, which, while different in composition, seem to have served a similar function to the above mentioned German and Italian works, being that they were often placed over burials and graveyards. Please note that the attached image is a modern replica.

Shelley, Percy Bysshe

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away".

love this poem

...

"And though all the windes of doctrin were let loose to play upon the earth, so Truth be in the field, we do injuriously by licencing and prohibiting to misdoubt her strength. Let her and Falshood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the wors, in a free and open encounter." J. Milton.

*hat, necklace, belt, and dagger

This piece shows the legendary Odysseus seizing a chance for greater glory on his way home from the Trojan War. While his crew has their ears stopped, he is tied to the mast and exposed to the irresistible songs of the sirens, music heard by many a man before crashing his ship and dying at sea.
An outstanding example of Hellenistic artistry. I had the pleasure of seeing the Dying Gaul in person.

Maybe you like this as well, from T. S. Elliot 'The Waste Land'

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow

Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,

And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,

And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,

(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either

Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

T.S Eliot was so based. Probably my favorite conservative of all time
