I don't get it, Catherine. Why is the Roethke appropriate for this occasion?

Instead of reading the last part of Tennyson's Ulysses, why not read the last part of James Joyce's Ulysses? I guarantee you will have their full attention.

Ithaka- it's the Hallmark choice, but there's a reason for that - it can be hastening or tarrying, coming or going - and it's so much fun to read.

Frank,
Auden's riff off "Ithaka"--"Atlantis"--might be even more fun to read...
