In the aftermath of the Tube and bus bombings, a lot has been written about the stiff upper lip and calm resolution than Londoners have developed in all their testing times. I feel that one should be careful not to get overdone in the talk and imagine Britons as a bunch of heartless automata, but as a nation they certainly are a strong bunch.

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

And did those feet in ancient times” by William Blake
