“Christmas at Sea” | Robert Louis Stevenson 1888

§

“The sheets were frozen hard, and they cut the naked hand;
The decks were like a slide, where a seaman scarce could stand.”
“And O the wicked fool I seemed, in every kind of way,
To be here and hauling frozen ropes on blessèd Christmas Day.”
“But all that I could think of, in the darkness and the cold,
Was just that I was leaving home and my folks were growing old.”

“St Matthew Passion” Bach | Sir Stephen Cleobury
