My Book of Delights: Book Two

The fishermen hang lights upon their boats and sit about singing and telling stories of their voyages.

A fishing fleet anchored for the night is like a little village. There are lights gleaming on all sides and voices can be heard when the water is calm.

Many a night is bright with the moonlight.

A pathway of light shines across the sea, and the waves break in showers of gold.

The fishermen love their life on the sea. Their boats seem like things of life; so does the restless sea. It is always changing its motion and color.
