“…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 to go,
And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.
O my brave soul!
O farther, farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! Are they not all the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!”
Walt Whitman
Fragment from 183. Passage to India
(Note: E.M. Forster borrowed the book’s title A Passage to India from this Whitman’s poem)
