poetry and lyrics

I'm in one of those moods that if were any kind of poet, I would write. Unfortunately, I am a far worse poet than any Vogon [The Hitchhiker's Guide describes Vogon poetry as the third worst in the universe]. Instead, I thought I'd share a part of song that has stuck with me the past few days.

The song is "Impossible Dream" from Broadway's Man of La Mancha. The song itself is a pretty impressive feat, however there are a few lines in particular that have stuck with me:

This is my Quest to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause!

I found these words to be inspiring. Can you imagine that? Someone who is willing to march into hell, fire and brimstone worse than you can possibly imagine hell, for a worthy cause?! What a powerful thing!
