    Another armored animal—scale
    lapping scale with spruce-cone regularity until they
    form the uninterrupted central

    the folk-lore
    Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
    The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.

    Casting me adrift, 3500 miles from a port of call. You’re sending me to my doom, eh? Well, you’re wrong, Christian! I’ll take this boat as she floats to England if I must. I’ll live to see you—all of you—hanging from the highest yardarms in the British fleet.
    Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)
