OF THE SAILOR We, who were born on earth and live by air, Make this thing pass across the fatal floor, The speechless sea; alone we commune there Jesting with death, that ever open door. Sun, moon and stars are signs by which we drive This wind-blown iron like a thing alive. OF THE SHIP I march across great waters like a gueen, I whom so many wisdoms helped to make; Over the uncruddled billows of seas green I blanch the bubbled highway of my wake. By me my wandering tenants clasp the hands, And know the thoughts of men in other lands. John Masefield 1916
