Margaret Thatcher (1925–2013) British stateswoman and politician
Speech to Conservative Central Council (28 March 1981) http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/104604 <br class="br">First term as Prime Minister <br class="br">Context: In the past our people have made sacrifices, only to find at the eleventh hour their government had lost its nerve and the sacrifice had been in vain. It shall not be in vain this time. This Conservative Government, not yet two years in office, will hold fast until the future of our country is assured... This is the road I am resolved to follow. This is the path I must go. I ask all who have the spirit—the bold, the steadfast and the young in heart—to stand and join with me as we go forward.
“I inaugurate through science
The hymn of all hearts spiritual”

Observations
Context: Hyperbole! can you not rise
In triumph from my memory,
A modern magic spell devise
As from an ironbound grammary:
For I inaugurate through science
The hymn of all hearts spiritual
In the labor of my patience,
Atlas, herbal, ritual.
