O to speed where there is space enough and air enough at last!
Walt Whitman
One Hour to Madness and Joy, 1860.
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
Walt Whitman
First four lines of O Captain! my Captain!, 1865.
Of course the captain is not a flying pilot. And indeed, the poem isn’t about a ship's captain at all, but is an extended metaphor about the death of U.S. president Abraham Lincoln.
