Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that heroism is not solely dependent on the individual's capabilities or qualities, but also depends on the situation at hand. It suggests that heroic acts often arise from specific circumstances that require courage, selflessness, and extraordinary actions to address a particular need or challenge. Therefore, heroism is not an inherent trait of an individual, but rather a response to the demands and opportunities presented by certain events or occasions.

O love, whose lordly hand Has bridled my desires, And raised my hunger and my thirst To dignity and pride, Let not the strong in me and the constant Eat the bread or drink the wine That tempt my weaker self. Let me rather starve, And let my heart parch with thirst, And let me die and perish, Ere I stretch my hand To a cup you did not fill, Or a bowl you did not bless.
