John Masefield Sail Quotations

I must go down to the sea again For the call of the running tide It's a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.

Off Cape Horn there are but two kinds of weather, neither one of them a pleasant kind.

My road leads me seawards To the white dipping sails.

All I ask is a tall ship and a star to sail her by.

Men in a ship are always looking up, and men ashore are usually looking down.
