'Passing now.
A side-eye view at my Hamlet hat. If I were suddenly naked here as I sit?
Across the sands of the world, followed by the sun's flaming sword, to the West, trekking to ancient lands. she trudges, schlepps, trains, drags, trascines her load. A tide westering, moondrawn, in her wake.
Tides, myriadislanded, within her, blood not mine, oinopa ponton, a wine dark sea. Behold the handmaid of the moon. In sleep a wet sign calls her hour, bids her rise.
Bridebed, childbed, bed of death, ghostcandled. Omnis caro ad te veniet.
He comes, pale vampire, through storm his eyes, his bat sails bloodying the sea, mouth to her mouth's kiss .... mouth to her mouth's kiss.'

James Joyce, Ulysses, Penguin, London, 1968, pg. 53.

Home Truths

This is the best of me;

for the rest, I ate, and drank, and slept, loved and hated, like another:

my life was as the vapour and is not;

but this I saw and knew;

this, if anything of mine,

is worth your memory.

John Ruskin, Sesame and Lilies

Be nice. Ask me in the comments section if you want to use my stories or images for further publication, and make sure you link it back to A WineDark Sea. This may sound old fashioned but really, you know it's just good manners.
