In case any of you were wondering what my weird fascination with this Masefield character is, I can tell you: it’s Star Trek!

Masefield is one of the only poets mentioned by name in the Star Trek universe, specifically in the much-maligned Star Trek V when Kirk quotes from a line of the poem herein posted. Kirk quotes the line, McCoy misidentifies it as Melville, and Spock corrects him with Masefield.
