"Ulysses" By Alfred Lord Tennyson

        The poem is about taking advantage of life itself. The little things and big things and all thats inbetween. The time you have to be able to spend time with your friends and family. Maybe a significant other, the journey that is life and included the search for love. From your old and new friends and the one you call your better half.
Little remains: but every hour is saved 
From that eternal silence, something more, 
A bringer of new things; 
         Even if you were to have only a little bit left of your life, you still have every hour to make it count. Even in death is something new. It stands out because it makes you want to live your life not in fear or as if it were your last day on earth. But to live your life without fear of death, to an extreme sense would be the popular term among teens this last year "YOLO" meaning "you only live once".
