Ulysses Comments

for the little profit or just for the homage not only the king or hero but also the greats are always do greatly

Feels great to read this poem once again, for the nth time. I ‘studied' this one for my ug course some 50 years back and ever since I have visited this poem often: in print for pretty long time, and then on internet, now on ph

this verse is shooo pleasing

Home sweet Home question answe

A long, compressed dramatic monologue with some tremendous words spoken by Ulysses, 'Come my friends./ 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world'. It is still not too late in our times.

It’s one of the best work of Alfred Lord Tennyson I think

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and to yield. Well expressed and communicated. Good delivery. SYLV A-ONYEMA UBA

Such a beautiful poem with brilliantly worded ending that's just perfection. “Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

‘Sail on’ no matter what! but especially as you age. Sublime encouragement for a 74 year old

It little profits that an idle king, By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Match'd with an aged wife, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , outstanding!

The quest for love and peace with life supports. Great poem.

We all miss Troy. with its topless towers.

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. Nice words! Well communicated! Sylva

An inspiring poem teaching mankind to live life to the lees, every word teaches us to strive, seek, find, and not to yield till you achieve. It adds a new hope towards success and greater confidence in me.

This man no fine artist.His words do not teach, inspire or hold the readers interest.His writings long as he must think the tree worthless to die for such doodlings.-Albert George Vinny

Of Tennyson's many, I still think this one is his best - unsentimental, regularly iambic but simulating plain speech, simple and accessible, but thoughtful and rather sophisticated. To have written one such poem is to have earned the reputation of a genuine poet. (And, of course, Tennyson has many, many others.)

This poem is based less on the Odyssey than on Dante's discussion of Ulysses in the Divine Comedy.

A great poem by a genius poet.

Perfect poem..when I'll write like that beautiful poems...never!

Wonderful poem! Love it
