    Tennyson is one of the greatest poets of all time, and Ulysses easily one of the best crafted works in an age of pretension, and because of its relatable, human and wide spanning dramatic themes of age, endurance, time and change, it's been quoted and used in various places and mediums. I'd say one of those other places was where Mendes and Logan got inspiration, and not from old Teddy, who absolutely botches the poem in that speech. I was wincing a bit as he went.

    You're an admirer of poetry? That's interesting.

    I have often wondered weather or not Sam Mendes watched Frasier ?
    ;)

    Perhaps Ted Kennedy, Frasier and Sam Mendes are all and the same man ;-)
