"The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks.

Emerson"

emerson was an idiot. sea captains avoid all those tacks by sailing the north route new england to europe, and the southern route azores through carabbean to south(with slaves) and nary a single tack. sail with the wind at your back.

No one knows what will happen next -such portents fill the days and nights.
Years prophetical! the space ahead as I walk, as I vainly try to pierce it, is full of phantoms;
Unborn deeds, things soon to be, project their shapes around me; This incredible rush and heat -this strange ecstatic fever of dreams, O years!
Your dreams, O years, how they penetrate through me! (I know not whether I sleep or wake!)

Walt Whitman
