    EPIGRAPH: Sea-Drinking cities have a moon-struck air; Houses are topped with look-outs; as a dog Looks up with dumb eyes asking, dormers stare At stranger-vessels and swart cunning faces. They are touched with long sleeping in the sea-born moon; They have heard fabled sails slatting in the dark, Clearing with no papers, unwritten in any log, Light as thin leaves before the rough typhoon; Keels trace a phosper mark, To allow old ocean-drowned green places.
