Today’s poem is the final stanza of Tennyson’s “Ulysses,” in which the hero of the Trojan war persuades his aging compatriots to wring out the last of their energies in a quest for the ends of the earth–“to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Happy reading.
So good, but for some reason I can’t see the first half! Thursday is totally missing for me. Says I need to be a paid subscriber to access it!
Hi Amber! Starting in January we made Tuesday/Thursday poems subscriber-only to help cover the show’s production costs.
Oh! I didn’t realize that! I must have missed that announcement 😂 thanks for letting me know 😄
So glad to hear it, Jim! That’s certainly one of the aims of the Daily Poem! Keep it up!
