Wherefore my heart leaps within me,
my mind roams with the waves
over the whale’s domain, it wanders far and wide
across the face of the earth, returns again to me,
eager and unsatisfied; the solitary bird screams,
irresistible, urges the heart to the whale’s way
over the stretch of the seas.
~ From The Seafarer, anonymous Anglo-Saxon poem.
