Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


But Margaret was obdurate. The Wests had always stood by their
ships, she urged; had always brought their ships in to the ports
intended or had gone down with their ships in the effort. The
Elsinore had cleared from Baltimore for Seattle with the Wests in the
high place. The Elsinore would re-equip with officers and men in
Valparaiso, and the Elsinore would arrive in Seattle with a West
still on board.


"But think, dear heart," I objected. "The voyage will require
months. Remember what Henley has said: 'Every kiss we take or give
leaves us less of life to live.'"
