What does and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea mean when he rides the wind and waves sometimes?

Sometimes and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea means to believe that one day, he can ride the long wind and break the waves; Hang Yun Fan high and March forward in the sea! It is often used to express one's beliefs and pursuits. This poem comes from it is hard to go I, a work by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is a Yuefu poem, which was written in the third year of Tianbao (744) when the author was forced to resign and leave Beijing. The whole poem * * * 14 sentences, which is not a masterpiece in Yuefu poetry, is written with ups and downs and is drunk.

excerpts from the original text of it is hard to go I

Author: Li Bai

pure wine costs, for the golden cup, ten thousand coppers a flagon, whose jade plate is a treasure.

I fling aside my food-sticks and cup, I cannot eat nor drink, I pull out my dagger, I peer four ways in vain.

I would cross the Yellow River, but ice chokes the ferry, I would climb the Taihang Mountains, but the sky is blind with snow.

Come fishing and sit on the stream, but I suddenly dream of riding a boat, sailing for the sun.

it is hard to go, it is hard to go, many roads, are now in peace.

I will mount a long wind some day and break the heavy waves, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea.

Translation:

The famous wine in the golden cup costs 1 yuan per bucket, and the exquisite dishes in the jade plate cost 1 yuan. I'm depressed in my chest. I can't eat when I stop drinking. I draw my sword and look around. My heart is really at a loss. Want to cross the Yellow River, ice and snow blocked this big river; If you want to climb the Taihang Mountain, the vast snow has already closed the mountain. Like Lu Shang fishing in the stream, waiting for a comeback; Yi Yin was hired by Shang Tang. How difficult it is! How difficult it is! There are many roads, where is the real avenue?
