From an episode of Star Trek, Kirk quotes John Masefield's poem "Sea-Fever" to describe how he feels about captaining the Enterprise. "Even if you take away the wind and water, it's still the same. And the stars are still there..."

"Sea-Fever"
John Masefield
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must 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.
It's a beautiful poem but we can't even guess that it is a poem because of these... pauses... Lol. Captain Kirk/quotes from books is definitely my OTP. :D He is so awesome when recites something.

Nearly the exact same music and line used in Star Trek V, and yet McCoy still forgot who said it. XP
