"It may be that the gulfs will wash us down; It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And though we are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
That was the shorten version of the great poem and here is the venison as written by Alfred lord Tennyson (in the Ulysses poem)
… 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, Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' Gleams that untravell'd world, whose margin fades -Alfred lord Tennyson,Ulysses
