Tennyson, in Ulysses, is extremely relevant in today's world of weakened spirit and people. It is a call to not accept that which is unfolding around us as a 'civilization'. Rather "never too late to seek a new world" and "never to yield" should be the foundation of a new movement of the people to return life to that which ignites adventure in us, life in existence and reconnection with who we are. Never forget who we are, having "once strive with gods".
