"Days of joy, how have ye fled? Joy immortal, are ye dead? Is there nothing that can hold you? Can my limp arms not enfold you? Days of floating on the stream, Softly lapped as in a dream, With the white clouds swimming slowly In an ether pure and holy!" (A. Schaffer in A summer vacation) Wandre (B)

How to build that ship?

“This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main, —
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.”
(O.W. Holmes in The chambered nautilus)
