Woman Laughing Alone With Thucydides
And this grey spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
          (from "Ulysses," Alfred Lord Tennyson)

Call me an empty ship, and outward-bound.
                   (from Moby-Dick, Herman Melville)
