a small sailing craft
is full of strange promise and
the hint of trouble
If a man must be obsessed by something,
I suppose a boat is as good as anything,
perhaps a bit better than most.
A small sailing craft is not only beautiful,
it is seductive and full of strange promise and the hint of trouble.
EB White in his essay, “The Sea and the Wind That Blows,” (1963; Essays of E. B. White, p. 205)
