A paraphrase of Beowulf (starting around line 1383).
Beowulf said “We must mourn our friends later; they have died, but we have not yet avenged them. While we live, we win whatever victories we can; so now let us hunt the monster, whether its trail lead through the middle of the earth or the bottom of the sea.”
The monster is hiding, but heroes are hunting it.
May the spirit of Beowulf be with them as they hunt.

And so say we all.
