Allen Curnow Quote

The sailor lives, and stands beside us, paying
Out into time's wave
The stain of blood that writes an island story.


'Landfall in Unknown Seas' (1943)


The sailor lives, and stands beside us, paying Out into time's wave The stain of blood that writes an island story.

The sailor lives, and stands beside us, paying Out into time's wave The stain of blood that writes an island story.

The sailor lives, and stands beside us, paying Out into time's wave The stain of blood that writes an island story.

The sailor lives, and stands beside us, paying Out into time's wave The stain of blood that writes an island story.
