1878-1967, British Poet and Novelist
Commonplace people dislike tragedy because they dare not suffer and cannot exult.
John Masefield – [Tragedies]
I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
John Masefield – [Oceans]
What am I, Life? A thing of watery salt held in cohesion by unresting cells. Which work they know not why, which never halt, myself unwitting where their Master dwells?
John Masefield – [Mystery]
