“Ulysses, Ulysses, let down your long hair!”
And he did. “I sailed on the ship over the wine-dark sea”
(That again!) “and I saw all that man was
In war and in peace” (Well, I should have had better sense than to ask)
“And I sought in the entrails of birds
To ferret out the truths known to the gods”
(If I get one more period instead of a period, I’m leaving) “and I know
That the only way we can really deceive others
Is first to deceive ourselves.”
