Farewell Visit To Ulysses -2- Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

Farewell Visit To Ulysses -2-



After twenty years, Ulysses has come back. He must realize a transformed world. And also he must understand his wife.

You wanted to return and find your world again,
Nature would have been the same, people couldn't refrain.
Your solitude breaks off and on, we like your feelings
Don't like your action, and this journey is over.
More than returning, more than finding, meeting means:
That wasn't your anniversary, Penelope loves new teams.

the rewriting of Ullysses is interesting in the modern concept.... Let what broken so remain the Gods are hard to reconcile Tis hard to set order once again....[Tennyson] ..........Still Ulysses is back................. More than returning, more than finding, meeting means: That wasn't your anniversary, Penelope loves new teams. **Abha**
