The lines are in blank verse‚ or unrhymed iambic pentameter‚ which serves to impart a fluid and natural quality to Ulysses’s speech. Many of the lines are enjambed‚ which means that a thought does not end with the line-break; the sentences often end in the middle‚ rather than the end‚ of the lines. The use of enjambment is appropriate in a poem about pushing
