 Raven's Reviews: Robert Heinlein
While once again readers should take some parts with large grains of salt to avoid being insulted, the book as a whole is well-written despite its lack of clear plot structure (which this reader forgives because it fits the character of Lazarus so well).
"To Sail Beyond the Sunset/ To follow knowledge like a sinking star...." Like many of his later novels, Heinlein's title has an important reference to the theme of his story- the idea of living beyond death and never ceasing to live simply because we have found something comfortable.
Beyond This Horizon: Hamilton and Cliff are just ordinary joes of the future who get caught up in the power-politics that surrounds an ongoing program of human genetic manipulation.

 SparkNotes: Tennyson's Poetry: "Ulysses"
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 forward "beyond the utmost bound of human thought." Finally, the poem is divided into four paragraph-like sections, each of which comprises a distinct thematic unit of the poem.
In this poem, written in 1833 and revised for publication in 1842, Tennyson reworks the figure of Ulysses by drawing on the ancient hero of Homer's Odyssey ("Ulysses" is the Roman form of the Greek "Odysseus") and the medieval hero of Dante's Inferno.

We have dreams that may seem beyond reach: the elimination of disease and old age, the end of hunger, biological adaptations that could allow us to live on other planets or travel to the stars, a greatly extended life span, even immortality.
"To Sail Beyond the Sunset" is a sequel to "The Cat Who Walked Through Walls." It is also a continuation of the story, first told in Methuselah's Children, of the Howard Foundation, set up to promote life extension by encouraging those coming from long-lived stock to have lots of children with each other.
Future technology, in turn, should offer means beyond our own for achieving these aims, so that there is at least reason to hope that memory functions will approach the perfection assumed earlier, as time increases without limit.

 Robert Heinlein@Everything2.com
A prolific and occasionally controversial (generally for his mild fascism; bizarrely also for his perceived hippy liberalism in Stranger in a Strange Land, though by no means as often.) science fiction author.
His writing spans from 1939, when his first short story was published, to 1988, the year of his death, in which To Sail Beyond the Sunset was published.
The main proponents of this storyline are (I think) Time Enough For Love, Methuselah's Children, The Number of the Beast, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, and To Sail Beyond the Sunset -- probably best read in that order.

 Favorite Authors -- Heinlein
He was born in 1907, and spent his childhood in Missouri, the influence of which can be seen in many of his works, such as Time Enough for Love and To Sail Beyond the Sunset.
This is one of the few cases where he failed to realize the social implications of a device, and certainly didn't foresee its current prevalence in motels and homes.
In some ways, he succeeded beyond his dreams, as the book was 'adopted' as their bible by many of the '60s counter-culture movement, even to the point that several churches were established with this book as their basis (most notably the Church of All Worlds).

To Sail Beyond the Sunset is a novel as personal and as touching as the best parts of Time Enough for Love, Lazarus' book; it is the story of a daughter, wife, mother, and ultimately an independent, intelligent woman surviving and thriving in good and bad times.

 [minstrels] Ulysses -- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Even after living with Calypso for ten years, Odysseus admits, "each day I long for home," and no matter what trial the gods put before him, his "tough heart can undergo it." In Tennyson’s poem, however, a different purpose seems to drive Odysseus.
Odysseus says his "purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset, and the baths of all the western stars, until [he] dies." I think his quest in the poem is a bit pathetic.
After living at home for three years, Odysseus seems to have gotten bored with his "aged" wife and wants to go sailing again.
