Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

NORMAN DAVEY. THE SARGASSO SEA . AGUE , unascertained , untravelled , lies an ocean sea -weed ravelled No charts hold - or ever have held — where that deadly sea may lie; But each day the sad wind sighs on ships , with men and merchandise on , Fading from the far horizon , drifting , drifting down to die . Ever drifting , fleeter , faster – drifting to untold disaster Bearing man and mate and master to irrevocable doom ; Far beyond the farthest traces left of men , to haunted places Helpless in the cold embraces of the drift - weed 's trailing bloom . Far from where the dark Atlantic Alings her rollers , corybantic , Breaking in on some romantic , reef - ringed , royal , island home : Far away from where terrific rolls the restless pale Pacific Chiselling the hieroglyphic cliffs that front the Western foam .
