Greetings, professor. I've spent more time than I care to admit combing over your multitude of comprehensive, unfiltered videos of pure information and interpretation. Don't stop, whatever you do. There's a tragic lack of your skills on KZfaq, and people who may be disheartened by the length of a read, let alone the depth that comes with it, can take one look at your summaries, and know that they'll be able to tackle it with some notion of clarity. Just wanted to take the time to thank you. You've been immeasurably useful to me in a time where I've had to be selective with what I go back and read.

Some teachers can very effectively kill the love of poetry in young people forever and this is one of them. I was lucky. I had a teacher that brought this poem to life for us with motion, drama and incredible passion and when we little boys trooped out of class we were stunned and our eyes gazed out of the school windows at the horizon in silence. Later that day there were some injuries as we fought each other with wooden swords in the Second Trojan War near the trees of the sports field and afterwards there was a line to see Nurse to patch us up. The head master berated us and we were punished by being restricted to the football field in front of the school but we divided ourselves again and fought the Third Trojan War until Nurse ran out and stopped it and the fat boy was knocked out. A boy called Derbyshire was caned and he took his beating without muttering a sound which greatly annoyed the head master who was called Tubby Lester. We all gave Derbyshire chocolate and sweets from out tuck boxes and he became the richest kid in the school and the prefects had the youngest boys shine his shoes every day before inspection. Later in life I studied Ancient Greek and I enjoyed insulting my superiors by calling them "Great King of Persia." I had forgotten about it all until I stumbled across this gift from the electric mist.

I just watched someone's snippet of this poem, now I see it wasn't the whole poem, which took it out of context for me. Because it started with the bit about still could do stuff even tho old. I interpreted it like the 'rage against the dying of the light' by Dylan Thomas fighting against the inevitable. You're explanation of what the text means confirms or re affirms that interpretation. He's running away from death to squeeze the last bit of life out of himself. If there is a mid life crisis, I think this is the end of life crisis. Thanks for going through the whole thing line by line.

Great work. As a wanderer all my life I have never seen not settling down - especially in the more conventional level - as immature. But the call for action does not necessarily mean the wayfarers life. It could be easy an insliration to any form of action such as learning. In Byzantium Yates praises old age for the knowledge gained. Old age can be the peak of life. Reading literature at 60 I understand so much more than at 30. Site like your offer an amazing short cut to grasp more fully the context and content of the poem. Poetry is not as popular as it once was perhaps but t it will never wane to far. Read well and understood its as fresh and vibrant as the early days rock and roll. But its there for all ages. The epics of poetry do nat age. They speak of our shared sorrows and hopes. You want to know mankind poetry is probably the quickest wat to see that essensce.

For the restless...the journey is more than a destination...it is a never ending becoming! The 'sea'...is the medium of adventure...and the unknown...a challenge to be better informed... whether it is crossed by boat...or by plane...or balloon....the act of moving out of one's comfort zone is critical to the experience. There is always a guilt...afterwards... and then...an acceptance of the spirit...within. We...will seek...to find and strive...but never to yield! John Ferraz Architect.

Ulysses is an aged man, and it seems ironic for him to travel the vast ocean given his frail and wrinkled body. Maybe his will is strong, but he has his limits. The poem is Ulysses's desire to continue to voyage the dim sea and the boundless ocean. But such desire is beyond me.
