"Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring
soul.

If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or
else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.

For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is
a flame that burns to its own destruction."

John

Well you can't blame him for having his back up in the circumstances.

Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes
But the principal failing occurred in the sailing,
And the Bellman, perplexed and distressed,
Said he had hoped, at least, when the wind blew due East
That the ship would not travel due West!
