. . .I will drink Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone, on shore, I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades For ever and forever when I move. And this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. From Tennyson’s Ulysses
