Those three weeks in New Zealand seemed to have suppressed the itch - at least for the time being. How about you and Ellie? In your retirement you could do something stupendous - like a visit to Italy...or even France in search of lost Bragues.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-91341528462390135072012-03-30T15:39:00.406+01:002012-03-30T15:39:00.406+01:00Now that's a post!

I just wanted to say the name of a poem (not even by Masefield) that this post was making me think of....<br /><br />"It's not what you do, it's what it does to you" which is all about enrichment and experiences.... That Simon Armitage chappie and also (funnily enough) the Black Moss one that you told me about before I got "sent away".ArcticFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406779213296821110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-37656844131182097442012-03-30T14:58:25.850+01:002012-03-30T14:58:25.850+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.ArcticFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406779213296821110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-80816249209757048332012-03-30T12:32:28.425+01:002012-03-30T12:32:28.425+01:00KATHERINE Yes.

A lovely sounding poem.<br />SHOOTING PARROTS But I think all of us can identify with that urge to go down to the sea again. It's much bigger than us. It rolls through time and leads to faraway places. It gives us perspective and listens without comment to our unspoken troubles.<br />CRAFTY CAT CORNER (BRIONY) It's easy to forget these poems. To leave them far behind in the schoolrooms of our youth. To see them now as mature people may give them more value.I think so.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-55341063739055355892012-03-30T12:10:00.206+01:002012-03-30T12:10:00.206+01:00Thankyou for posting this poem, it is one of my ab...Thankyou for posting this poem, it is one of my absolute favourites.<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-28686038748906513452012-03-30T10:32:48.922+01:002012-03-30T10:32:48.922+01:00As you say, he was a very young man when he wrote ...As you say, he was a very young man when he wrote that poem and it is rather romantic view of seafaring. <i>Cargoes</i> was more balanced with its 'dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack'!Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-54433835932487032762012-03-30T09:05:06.328+01:002012-03-30T09:05:06.328+01:00And of course there's the one that starts Quin...And of course there's the one that starts Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir.... and ends with Cheap tin trays!<br /><br />I love Masefield's poetry.MorningAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719744167307369768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-58241485810685820442012-03-30T03:49:49.482+01:002012-03-30T03:49:49.482+01:00I didn't realise he was alive in my lifetime. ...I didn't realise he was alive in my lifetime.
