Explore "On the Beach at Fontana" by James Joyce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Wind whines and whines the shingle, / The crazy pierstakes groan; / A senile sea numbers each single / Slimesilvered stone.
From whining wind and colder / Grey sea I wrap him warm / And touch his trembling fineboned shoulder / And boyish arm.
Around us fear, descending / Darkness of fear above / And in my heart how deep unending / Ache of love!
Trieste, 1914.
