Shall pass at last for absolutely wise,
And not with fools exclusively. — Elizabeth Barrett Browning · 1856I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death. — Elizabeth Barrett Browning · 1850John Masefield2 quotes

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by. — John Masefield · 1902I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
