(The Pilot speaks)
"Strange, how I felt the homeward voyage long; / As I looked back to Delos o'er our wake, / And heard the priest's song, saw our sails out-shake / Under the round sun hanging like a gong / Mid-heaven. All night long I lay on deck / Remembering how he taught us in the Porch; / Yet, the black waters' phosphorescent torch / Gave me no Sign, no word in white foam-fleck.
