"i cannot rest from travel; i will drink
life to the lees.
all times I have enjoyed
greatly, have suffered greatly,
both with those
that loved me, and alone;
on shore,
and when
through scudding drifts the rainy hyades
vexed the dim sea.
i am become a name;
for always roaming with a hungry heart
much have I seen and known---
cities of men
and manners,
climates,
councils,
governments,
myself not least, but honored of them all---
and drunk delight of battle with my peers,
far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
i am part of all that i have met;"
