Challenge #13 Embedded Quote

The challenge this week is to create a zentangle that incorporates a quote, or words as part of the design. It can be a single word, a lengthy quote, random words spread through the design, or even a design drawn on a page from a book or magazine that incorporates some part of the text.

We were keen this week and we each had a quote in mind and we finished it early!!

My quote was written by Becky Whitney.  She is the Wellness and Drug Awareness worker in this tiny northern community.  I saw this quote on a whiteboard at the wellness house and when I asked who wrote it Becky said she did.  I felt that it needed preserving because things on whiteboards just don't last.  This was the perfect challenge to get me started on this project for Becky.  I will give it to her next time I see her!

Jay choose this quote from Ulysses by Alford Lord Tennyson:
’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. 
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down: 
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, 
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew. 
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’ 
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.
