Today’s poet seems to be as often quoted as recited. “Sea Fever” by John Masfield came to my attention as a quote in a word puzzle on Merriam-Webster’s web site. Searching for the poem turns up many instances of the first line being used as a title – both with and without “go”. He is known for a number of other quotes, as well.
You do not have to be a sailor for this poem to stir excitement. My ship is not that tall and mine is on a lake, but still provides a “clear call that cannot be denied”.
Enjoy.
