Steer for the deep waters only

A cool quote by Walt Whitman that I think about sometimes when I am learning new things and trying to adapt them for use...

"Sail Forth- Steer for the deep waters only. Reckless O soul, exploring. I with thee and thou with me. For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared go. And we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all."

This quote and other writings by Walt Whitman were used in Ralph Vaughn Williams' first symphony - A Sea Symphony, which is also really cool.
