  1. Ulyssean

    …and then there’s the “Ulyssean adult” Thankfully, there’s another kind of individual, one who “brings light with him, the light of creativity retained or regained, and the surging joy of human powers confidently held and used.” McLeish called this individual the “Ulyssean adult”: The title comes, of course, from Ulysses, the adventurer and hero of the early Greek classical world who would have been about 50 when the great series of adventures described in The Odyssey was coming to an end, and perhaps close to 70 when he began his last adventures.

    Claire was a Ulyssean 83 year old who thought nothing of moving from California to rural Maine on her own after a knee replacement, winterproofing the hunter's cabin she bought, while teaching and publishing internationally and traveling long distances to nurture important friendships.
