why did he write this poem??
he wrote it because he was growing older and with him growing older he knew things would change
Live life to the fullest, do not waste time being idle. "Drink life to the lees..."
Like the 'pedia article says, tennyson was writing about what becomes of the hero after the quest.
- Tennyson wrote the poem in 1833, when he was still in his 20s. Like most of his other good poems, it was apparently about him trying to get over being depressed about Hallam's death. According to the Norton Anthology: Tennyson himself stated that this poem expressed his own "need of going forward and braving the struggle of life" after the death of Hallam.
