Subj:	Kirk's Quotation

The episode in which Kirk quotes "All I ask is a tall ship and
a star to steer her by" is "The Ultimate Computer".  The poem
in question, incidentally, is John Masefield's "Sea Fever", which
was written around 1902.
 
As long as we're on the subject of quotations, does anybody
know the source of "Eternal childhood, full of play", which
Janice Rand quotes in "Miri"?  It's driving me crazy.  And
if Rand can quote something so esoteric, can she really be
such an airhead?  Of course, maybe I only think it's esoteric
because I can't remember the source.
