My brothers who have confronted a thousand dangers and reached the borders of the West, do not hesitate to follow the sun and explore the uninhabited world.
- From Le Mepris, 1963, taken from the Divine Comedy by Dante.
Reminds me of:
Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
- Ulysses by Tennyson.
