Where lies the Land to which yon Ship must go?
Fresh as a lark mounting at break of day,
Festively she puts forth in trim array.

Where Lies the Land, l. 1 (1806).

Where lies the land to which the ship would go?
Far, far ahead, is all her seamen know.
And where the land she travels from? Away,
Far, far behind, is all that they can say.

 
Arthur Hugh Clough
 

...like a ship, clean and trim on a dirty sea of pox and camel-dung.

 
Anthony Burgess
 

The corn was springing fresh and green,
And the lark sang loud and high,
And the red was on your lip, Mary,
And the love-light in your eye.

 
Helen Blackwood
 

Subhuman bloodless leaders / Fed on lies and fear / And tv anchor news teams / Trim all we see and hear.

Your only safety lies in placing yourself in circumstances which will make exertion necessary, and which will secure Divine assistance. Never mind your infirmities. You have nothing to do with them. Your business is to trust, and to go forward. If you wait till the sea becomes land, you will never walk on it. You must leave the ship, and, like Peter, set your feet upon the waves, and you will find them marble.
