THE TRAIL FROM THE SEA
I took the trail to the wooded canyon,The trail from the sea:For I heard a calling in me,A landward calling irresistible in me:Have done with things of the sea—things of the soul;Have done with waters that slip away from under you.Have done with things faithless, things unfathomable and vain; With the vast deeps of Time and the Hereafter.
Have done with the fog-breather, the fog-beguiler;With the foam of the never-resting.
