Poem: Lord Alfred Tennyson's "Ulysses"

… Come, my friends,

     'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

     Push off, and sitting well in order smite

     The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds

     To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths

     Of all the western stars, until I die.

     It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;

     It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,

     And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
