"Ulysses" as compared to "To An Athlete Dying Young"

Time is the major theme of both "Ulysses" and "To An Athlete Dying Young;" however, opposite points are made within them. In "To An Athlete Dying Young," Housman focuses on an athlete's glory dying before the athlete. He states "glory does not stay.....it withers quicker than the rose." He also states "the name died before the man." Housman is making it clear that glory is quick to come and also quick to go. In "To An Athlete Dying Young" Tennyson writes of living in past glory. So in a sense, this poem seems to promote the fact that glory will live on. Tennyson states that "myself not least, but honored of them all" and "little remains; but every hour is saved from that eternal silence, something more....." The last lines of the poem seem to sum up the major point of the poem: "Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are we are--one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." He seems to truly be clinging on to past glory. He lives and still prides himself in his past triumphs. In comparing poetic forms,  one can see that in "Ulysses" there are longer sentences which could be seen as reflecting a longer life. Tennyson also speaks in first person whereas in "To An Athlete Dying Young," sentences are shorter and there is a very set pattern (couplets) that can be observed and Housman speaks in second person. It's interesting to compare and contrast these poems.
