We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go
Always a little further; it may be
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea

Make the Golden Journey to Samarkand (1913)
JAMES ELROY FLECKER (1884-1915)
These words are inscribed on the clock tower at Stirling Lines,
