“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

This miracle of glass....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“He stands in warm water
Soap all over the smooth of his thigh and stomach
“Gary don’t soap my hair!”
Mhis eye-sting fear—”
