yesterday's poetry

[battygurl]

It's been awhile since I did this. I am not going to check how long.
The final stanza of "Mankind and Ocean" by Robert Graves, from my anthology of sea poetry.

To love the Ocean is to taste salt,
To drink the blood of sailors,
To watch the waves assault
Mast-high a cliff that shudders
Under their heartless hammers...
Is wind alone at fault?
