On the same day as the eviction and demolition of the CDC headquarters in Congo Town, former House Speaker J. Fonati Koffa took to social media with a powerful literary message, quoting Alfred Lord Tennyson’s Ulysses.
“Though much is taken, much abides…” the quote begins, capturing a tone of resilience, reflection, and inner strength in the face of loss and change.
Though Koffa did not reference the CDC eviction directly, the timing of the post has drawn public attention and speculation about its deeper meaning.
The quote, often used in moments of transition, speaks of the enduring spirit despite the weakening effects of time and fate, a sentiment that resonates amid political tensions.
Many interpret the post as a subtle statement of solidarity, resolve, or farewell, as the opposition party faces the loss of its longstanding headquarters.
Koffa’s poetic gesture stands out in a day dominated by force and protest, offering words that call not to yield, but to seek, to strive, and to endure.
