Blago Waxes Poetic

Governor Blagojevich apparently, is somewhat of a literature buff.  Last year he was quoting Kipling, this year, he ended his final press conference as Governor of Illinois with a portion of Lord Tennyson's 'Ulysses:' To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Hmm. 

Maybe "A day may sink or save a realm" would have been more apropos? Or, "A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies"?
