“Pompeius, best of all my comrades, you and I
Often faced death when we were rebels.”

By storm or fish or sea-fowl harmed
Walking the sea so heavily armed;
Or does it make for death to be
Oneself a living armoury?”

The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.”
