“A life on the ocean wave!A home on the rolling deep,Where the scattered waters rave,And the winds their revels keep!Like an eagle caged I pineOn this dull unchanging shore:Oh give me the flashing brine,The spray and the tempest's roar!”Epes Sargent A Life on the Ocean WaveA Life on the Ocean Wave, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
