Answer to Question 1


  • Nature and its various components are described as clear, deep, clean, harsh, and excitingall admirable and desirable traits, even harsh, which here may have the connotation of being rough and stimulating, capable of shaking the torpid spirit awake. Thus, nature is characterized as inviting, accepting, and refreshing to the spirit.



Answer to Question 2


  • Taken literally, the line suggests questing, discovery, and seeking always to enlarge the limits of the possible and thus add to human progressthat all of this is a never-ending, lifelong ambition for those who are possessed by the spirit of adventure. In the larger context, with the references in line 60 to sailing ever westward, beyond the sunset, and in lines 6364 to the Happy Isles and the great Achilles (who had perished in the Trojan War), it becomes clear that Ulysses is describing a voyage from which he and his companions will not return. The ultimate newer world to which he alludes is the one that lies on the other side of the boundary between life and death.
