Watching Star Trek episodes in San Diego Channel 13, I heard Captain Kirk quote an old English poem by John Masefield (the same quote, btw, that he mentions in Star Trek V). That reminded me of another quote, from a Star Trek novel. Listed below are both:<\/p>\n

\n\"Sea-Fever\"<\/p>\n
\nAnd all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
\nAnd the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
\nAnd a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking<\/p>\n
\nIs a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
\nAnd all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
\nAnd the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.<\/p>\n
\nTo the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
\nAnd all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
\nAnd quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Passage to India\"<\/p>\n
\n\tReckless, O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me;
\n\tFor we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go,
\n\tAnd we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.<\/p>\n
