- 1901, Edward Hutton, Frederic Uvedale: A Romance, page 196:
- Tonight the church seems to have a separate existence, apart from the world or even Rome; to be more spiritual, more insubstantial than even the Trinita there. A ship asail in the Campagna, the only living thing in all that distance, and even then alive but so half-heartedly.
- 1980, Graham Nash, quoted in 2009, Dave Zimmer, Four Way Street: The Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Reader, page 235:
- And that night, Stephen and I went back to my house here in Los Angeles, got drunk and decided that we would try one more time to get this ship asail.
- 2000, J. N. Williamson, Frights of Fancy, page 234:
- Beautiful, the ocean at night, whether upon or just peering out at it. Beautiful, and teeming infinitely with life, even when there was no ship asail upon its cresting bosom—like now.
- 1901, Edward Hutton, Frederic Uvedale: A Romance, page 196:
