GOING TO SEA
Neither Out Far Nor In Deep
As long as it takes to pass A ship keeps raising its hull; The wetter ground like glass Reflects a standing gull The land may vary more; But wherever the truth may be— The water comes ashore, And the people look at the sea. They cannot look out far. They cannot look in deep. But when was that ever a bar To any watch they keep? —Robert Frost, “Neither Out Far Nor In Deep,” in Collected Poems of Robert Frost (New York: Henry Holt & Co., Inc., 1936).
The people along the sand All turn and look one way. They turn their back on the land. They look at the sea all day.
