oroboros commented on the word sticktoitiveness
"Though here at journey's end I lie
In darkness buried deep,
Beneath all towers strong and high,
Beneath all mountains steep,
Still, above all shadows rides the sun,
And the stars forever dwell,
So, I will not say the day is done,
Nor bid the stars farewell."
--JRR Tolkien
