“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,

“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

Old fish at table, but young flesh in bed.”
