I reread "Rewards and Fairies" yesterday, and [livejournal.com profile] affabletoaster posted "Sea Fever", so the combination of Kipling + sea inspires me to post this. I loved this poem when I was a child (and still do); was plainly a morbid little thing - but I think it's the magnificent play of sound (: the sound of the oar-blades falling hollow )

I am not entirely surprised that no-one on here is interested in Wolfram von Eschenbach, Anglo-Catholicism, or indeed Capercaillie, except me, but no one else giving 'star trek: deep space 9' as an interest? I really do feel like an early adopter now!
