We've all spent time underway and I believe most if not all of us have felt the sea's mysterious and often compelling influence.
I've occasionally wondered whether it's because we develop within a fluid-filled womb that the sea reminds us from whence we spring.
Then, again, which one of the young warriors in the poem may know what a rising red sun on the morrow will bring?
Or, for that matter, a not entirely dissimilar event, 60 years later? Best, Steve
