"What you wanna do then?" ... "I don't know, what should we do?" ... I don't know. What do we do every day? Let's do that then."

"I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over." John Masefield, Sea Fever
